The Girls At Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDED FGHGHDID JKLKLDMD| When the daylight fades on the tented field | A |
| And the campfire cheerfully burns | B |
| Then the Soldier's thought like a carrier dove | C |
| To his own love home returns | B |
| Like a carrier dove a carrier dove | C |
| And gleams beyond the foam | D |
| So a light springs up in the Soldier's heart | E |
| As he thinks of the Girls at Home | D |
| - | |
| When the shadows dance on the canvas walls | F |
| And the camp with melody rings | G |
| 'Tis the good old song of the Stars and Stripes | H |
| That the fireside circle sings | G |
| Of the Stars and Stripes the Stars and Stripes | H |
| For love of which they roam | D |
| But the final song and the sweetest one | I |
| Is the song of the Girls at Home | D |
| - | |
| Now the silver rays of a setting moon | J |
| Thru' the lofty sycamores creep | K |
| And the fires burn low and the sentries watch | L |
| O'er the arm ed host a sleep | K |
| And the sentries watch the sentries watch | L |
| Till morning gilds the dome | D |
| Till the rattling drum shall the sleepers rouse | M |
| From the dream of the Girls at Home | D |
