Sonnet With The Compliments Of The Season Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBDCB EFEFEF

of a strike at ChristmasA
-
I know you You will hail the huge releaseB
Saying the sheathing of a thousand swordsC
In silence and injustice well accordsC
With Christmas bells And you will gild with greaseB
The papers the employers the policeB
And vomit up the void your windy wordsD
To your New Christ who bears no whip of cordsC
For them that traffic in the doves of peaceB
-
The feast of friends the candle fruited treeE
I have not failed to honour And I sayF
It would be better for such men as weE
And we be nearer Bethlehem it we layF
Shot dead on scarlet snows for libertyE
Dead in the daylight upon Christmas DayF
