Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHCIBJKLMBNOPQ RSTUVW| The darkness crumbles away | A |
| It is the same old druid Time as ever | B |
| Only a live thing leaps my hand | C |
| A queer sardonic rat | D |
| As I pull the parapet's poppy | E |
| To stick behind my ear | F |
| Droll rat they would shoot you if they knew | G |
| Your cosmopolitan sympathies | H |
| Now you have touched this English hand | C |
| You will do the same to a German | I |
| Soon no doubt if it be your pleasure | B |
| To cross the sleeping green between | J |
| It seems you inwardly grin as you pass | K |
| Strong eyes fine limbs haughty athletes | L |
| Less chanced than you for life | M |
| Bonds to the whims of murder | B |
| Sprawled in the bowels of the earth | N |
| The torn fields of France | O |
| What do you see in our eyes | P |
| At the shrieking iron and flame | Q |
| Hurled through still heavens | R |
| What quaver what heart aghast | S |
| Poppies whose roots are in men's veins | T |
| Drop and are ever dropping | U |
| But mine in my ear is safe | V |
| Just a little white with the dust | W |
