Songs For The Soldiers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOMPQRS TUVI| IF songs be sung let minstrels strike their harps | A |
| To large and joyous strains all thunder winged | B |
| To beat along vast shores Ay let their notes | C |
| Wild into eagles soaring toward the sun | D |
| And voiced like bugles bursting through the dawn | E |
| When armies leap to life Give them such breasts | F |
| As hold immortal fires and they shall fly | G |
| Swept with our little sphere through all the change | H |
| That waits a whirling world | I |
| Joy's an immortal | J |
| She hath a fiery fibre in her flesh | K |
| That will not droop or die so let her chant | L |
| The p ans of the dead where holy Grief | M |
| Hath trembling thrust the feeble mist aside | N |
| That veils her dead and in the wondrous clasp | O |
| Of re possession ceases to be Grief | M |
| Joy's ample voice shall still roll over all | P |
| And chronicle the heroes to young hearts | Q |
| Who knew them not | R |
| There's glory on the sword | S |
| That keeps its scabbard sleep unless the foe | T |
| Beat at the wall then freely leaps to light | U |
| And thrusts to keep the sacred towers of Home | V |
| And the dear lines that map the nation out upon the world | I |
