To Any Member Of My Generation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDBFE GHIJKI| What is it you remember the summer mornings | A |
| Down by the river at Richmond with a girl | B |
| And as you kissed clumsy in bathing costumes | C |
| History guffawed in a rosebush What a warning | D |
| If only we had known if only we had known | E |
| And when you looked in mirrors was this meaning | D |
| Plain as the pain in the centre of a pearl | B |
| Horrible tomorrow in Teutonic postures | F |
| Making absurd the past we cannot disown | E |
| - | |
| Whenever we kissed we cocked the future's rifles | G |
| And from our wild oat words like dragon's teeth | H |
| Death underfoot now arises when we were gay | I |
| Dancing together in what we hoped was life | J |
| Who was it in our arms but the whores of death | K |
| Whom we have found in our beds today today | I |
