The Soldier Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEBBFF| Home furthest off grows dearer from the way | A |
| And when the army in the Indias lay | A |
| Friends' letters coming from his native place | B |
| Were like old neighbours with their country face | B |
| And every opportunity that came | C |
| Opened the sheet to gaze upon the name | C |
| Of that loved village where he left his sheep | D |
| For more contented peaceful folk to keep | D |
| And friendly faces absent many a year | E |
| Would from such letters in his mind appear | E |
| And when his pockets chafing through the case | B |
| Wore it quite out ere others took the place | B |
| Right loath to be of company bereft | F |
| He kept the fragments while a bit was left | F |
