Proem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCCDBDBCCEFEFCC| IN the black night along the mud deep roads | A |
| Amid the threatening boughs and ghastly streams | B |
| Hark sounds that gird the darknesses like goads | B |
| Murmurs and rumours and reverberant dreams | B |
| Trampling breaths movements and a little light | C |
| The marching of the Army of the Night | C |
| The stricken men the mad brute beasts are keeping | D |
| No more their places in the ditches or holes | B |
| But rise and join us and the women weeping | D |
| Beside the roadways rise like demon souls | B |
| Fill up the ranks What shimmers there so bright | C |
| The bayonets of the Army of the Night | C |
| Fill up the ranks We march in steadfast column | E |
| In wavering lines yet forming more and more | F |
| Men women children sombre silent solemn | E |
| Rank follows rank like billows to the shore | F |
| Dawnwards we tramp towards the hills and light | C |
| On on and up the Army of the Night | C |
