Gold And Grey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBBCDEBBE| War was romantic in the days of old | A |
| The knight rode forth to battle unafraid | B |
| Wearing the favour of some royal maid | B |
| Who loved him for his courage lionbold | B |
| And thus he sought adventures manifold | B |
| In joust and tourney midst fanfaronade | B |
| Of trumpets or else fought in a crusade | B |
| Gainst infidels his honour to uphold | B |
| But modern war is not at all the same | C |
| There are no plumes to catch my lady's eye | D |
| In dugouts deep or trenches lashed by rain | E |
| Where poison gas creeps in to suffocate | B |
| Where bullets slap against the parapet | B |
| And barb d wire crucifies the slain | E |
