War's Cataract Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDEC FGHGFH| In this red havoc of the patient earth | A |
| Though higher yet the tide of battle rise | B |
| Now has the hero cast away disguise | B |
| And out of ruin splendour comes to birth | A |
| This is the field where Death and Honour meet | C |
| And all the lesser company are low | D |
| Pale Loveliness has left her mirror now | E |
| And walks the Court of Pain with silent feet | C |
| - | |
| From cliff to cliff war's cataract goes down | F |
| Hurling its booming waters to the shock | G |
| And tossing high their manes of gleaming spray | H |
| The crested chargers leap from rock to rock | G |
| While over all dark though the thunder frown | F |
| The rainbows climb above to meet the day | H |
