Lone Pine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCBDBDACACEFG| Lone Pine Lone Pine Our hearts are numbly aching | A |
| For those who come no more | B |
| Our boys who sleep the sleep that knows no waking | A |
| Besides the Dardan s shore | B |
| Through all the years with glory sad and sombre | B |
| Their names will deathless shine | C |
| No bugle call can wake them from their slumber | B |
| Lone Pine Lone Pine | C |
| They did not quail they did not pause or ponder | B |
| They counted not the odds | D |
| The order came the foe were waiting yonder | B |
| The rest was with the gods | D |
| Forth from their trenches at the signal leaping | A |
| They charged the Turkish line | C |
| And death charged too a royal harvest reaping | A |
| Lone Pine Lone Pine | C |
| Nought could withstand that onrush backward | E |
| driven | F |
| The foemen broke and fled | G |
