Thiepval Wood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDBEE| The tired air groans as the heavies swing over the river hollows boom | A |
| The shell fountains leap from the swamps and with wildfire and fume | A |
| The shoulder of the chalkdown convulses | B |
| Then the jabbering echoes stampede in the slatting wood | C |
| Ember black the gibbet trees like bones or thorns protrude | D |
| From the poisonous smoke past all impulses | B |
| To them these silvery dews can never again be dear | E |
| Nor the blue javelin flame of the thunderous noons strike fear | E |
