The Unborn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDDD DEDEFDFDGG HIHIJHJHKK| I see grim War a bestial thing | A |
| with swinish tusks to tear | B |
| Upon his back the vampires cling | A |
| Thin vipers twine among his hair | B |
| The tiger's greed is in his jowl | C |
| His eye is red with bloody tears | D |
| And every obscene beast and fowl | C |
| From out his leprous visage leers | D |
| In glowing pride fell fiends arise | D |
| And trampled God the Father lies | D |
| - | |
| Not God alone the Demon slays | D |
| The hills that swell to Heaven drip | E |
| With ooze of murdered men for days | D |
| The dead drift with the drifting ship | E |
| And far as eye may see the plain | F |
| Is cumbered deep with slaughtered ones | D |
| Contorted to the shape of pain | F |
| Dissolving 'neath the callous suns | D |
| And driven in his foetid breath | G |
| Still ply the harvesters of Death | G |
| - | |
| He sits astride an engine dread | H |
| And at his touch the awful ball | I |
| Across the quaking world is sped | H |
| I see a million creatures fall | I |
| Beyond the soldiers on the hill | J |
| The mother by her basinet | H |
| The bolt its mission must fulfil | J |
| And in the years that are not yet | H |
| Creation by the blow is shorn | K |
| Of dimpled hosts of babes unborn | K |
