Drill Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBCADADEAEAFGFG HIHIJCJC| WHEN day's hard task's done | A |
| Eve's scant meal partaken | A |
| Out we steal each one | A |
| Weariless unshaken | A |
| In small reeking squares | B |
| Garbaged plots we gather | C |
| Little knots and pairs | B |
| Brother sister father | C |
| Then the Word is given | A |
| In their silent places | D |
| Under lowering heaven | A |
| Range our stern set faces | D |
| Now we march and wheel | E |
| In our clumsy line | A |
| Shouldering sticks for steel | E |
| Thoughts bitter as brine | A |
| Drill drill drill and drill | F |
| It is only thus | G |
| Conquer yet we will | F |
| Those who've conquered us | G |
| Patience sisters mothers | H |
| We must not forget | I |
| Foiled dead fathers brothers | H |
| They must teach us yet | I |
| In that Hour we see | J |
| The Hour of our Desire | C |
| What shall their slayers be | J |
| As the stubble to the fire | C |
