A Canadian Trooper To His Horse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFFGG HHIIAAJJKK| Rest here my horse the night is dull the blood sick stars are gone | A |
| Listen for thou like me wert bred in far Saskatchewan | A |
| And this September night at home under a happier sky | B |
| The bursting yellow sheaves upon the unbounded prairie lie | B |
| Bread bread the staff and stay of life 'tis what the wheatlands yield | C |
| But only death and agony are gathered from this field | C |
| - | |
| There's respite now but ah good friend before another day | D |
| Although our bodies may be here we we how far away | D |
| We've ridden many a weary mile together we have fought | E |
| For Freedom honor and the right and anything we've wrought | E |
| Our Country to the Empire will still more closely bind | F |
| Ah where the reddened maple leaf is fluttering in the wind | F |
| There is my heart oh noble horse and may we gallop free | G |
| Some day again in Canada our Land of Liberty | G |
| - | |
| The night drags on toward the dawn and far on yonder plain | H |
| I hear the throb of musketry I feel its echoing pain | H |
| I see the star shells breaking and nearer than their flare | I |
| A wreath of deadly smoke points out that once a town was there | I |
| Look brother horse the night is past and glorious is the dawn | A |
| Away with peril We'll ride on for our Saskatchewan | A |
| With day comes hope and though again the sky with blood is red | J |
| We'll ride against the enemy for Victory lies ahead | J |
| Aye for the Empire Victory that thou shalt help to bring | K |
| And for the Allies Victory on earth what greater thing | K |
