The Warrior Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGEFG| He wrought in poverty the dull grey days | A |
| But with the night his little lamp lit room | B |
| Was bright with battle flame or through a haze | A |
| Of smoke that stung his eyes he heard the boom | B |
| Of Bluecher's guns he shared Almeida's scars | C |
| And from the close packed deck about to die | D |
| Looked up and saw the Birkenhead 's tall spars | C |
| Weave wavering lines across the Southern sky | D |
| - | |
| Or in the stifling 'tween decks row on row | E |
| At Aboukir saw how the dead men lay | F |
| Charged with the fiercest in Busaco's strife | G |
| Brave dreams are his the flick'ring lamp burns low | E |
| Yet couraged for the battles of the day | F |
| He goes to stand full face to face with life | G |
