The Bugler Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDCBEEFFGHII JKKAJLAL| God dreamed a man | A |
| Then having firmly shut | B |
| Life like a precious metal in his fist | C |
| Withdrew His labour done Thus did begin | D |
| Our various divinity and sin | D |
| For some to ploughshares did the metal twist | C |
| And others dreaming empires straightway cut | B |
| Crowns for their aching foreheads Others beat | E |
| Long nails and heavy hammers for the feet | E |
| Of their forgotten Lord Who dares to boast | F |
| That he is guiltless Others coined it most | F |
| Did with it simply nothing Here again | G |
| Who cries his innocence Yet doth remain | H |
| Metal unmarred to each man more or less | I |
| Whereof to fashion perfect loveliness | I |
| - | |
| For me I do but bear within my hand | J |
| For sake of Him our Lord now long forsaken | K |
| A simple bugle such as may awaken | K |
| With one high morning note a drowsing man | A |
| That wheresoe'er within my motherland | J |
| That sound may come 'twill echo far and wide | L |
| Like pipes of battle calling up a clan | A |
| Trumpeting men through beauty to God's side | L |
