Vlamertinghe: Passing The Chateau Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCDEEFFGG| And all her silken flanks with garlands drest | A |
| But we are coming to the sacrifice | B |
| Must those flowers who are not yet gone West | A |
| May those flowers who live with death and lice | B |
| This must be the flowerist place | C |
| That earth allows the queenly face | C |
| Of the proud mansion borrows grace for grace | C |
| Spite of those brute guns lowing at the skies | D |
| Bold great daisies' golden lights | E |
| Bubbling roses' pinks and whites | E |
| Such a gay carpet poppies by the million | F |
| Such damask such vermilion | F |
| But if you ask me mate the choice of colour | G |
| Is scarcely right this red should have been duller | G |
