Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCC ADDAD EFGFHH| Comrades of risk and rigour long ago | A |
| Who have done battle under honour's name | B |
| Hoped living or shot down some meed of fime | B |
| And wooed bright Danger for a thrilling kiss | C |
| Laugh oh laugh well that we have come to this | C |
| - | |
| Laugh oh laugh loud all ye who long ago | A |
| Adventure found in gallant company | D |
| Safe in Stagnation laugh laugh bitterly | D |
| While on this filthiest backwater of Time's flow | A |
| Drift we and rot till something set us free | D |
| - | |
| Laugh like old men with senses atrophied | E |
| Heeding no Present to the Future dead | F |
| Nodding quite foolish by the warm fireside | G |
| And seeing no flame but only in the red | F |
| And flickering embers pictures of the past | H |
| Life like a cinder fading black at last | H |
