Every Man Should Have A Rifle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF| So I sit and write and ponder while the house is deaf and dumb | A |
| Seeing visions over yonder of the war I know must come | A |
| In the corner not a vision but a sign for coming days | B |
| Stand a box of ammunition and a rifle in green baize | B |
| And in this the living present let the word go through the land | C |
| Every tradesman clerk and peasant should have these two things at hand | C |
| - | |
| No no ranting song is needed and no meeting flag or fuss | D |
| In the future still unheeded shall the spirit come to us | D |
| Without feathers drum or riot on the day that is to be | E |
| We shall march down very quiet to our stations by the sea | E |
| While the bitter parties stifle every voice that warns of war | F |
| Every man should own a rifle and have cartridges in store | F |
