In Memory Of Rupert Brooke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDCD| In alien earth across a troubled sea | A |
| His body lies that was so fair and young | B |
| His mouth is stopped with half his songs unsung | B |
| His arm is still that struck to make men free | A |
| But let no cloud of lamentation be | A |
| Where on a warrior's grave a lyre is hung | B |
| We keep the echoes of his golden tongue | B |
| We keep the vision of his chivalry | A |
| - | |
| So Israel's joy the loveliest of kings | C |
| Smote now his harp and now the hostile horde | D |
| To day the starry roof of Heaven rings | C |
| With psalms a soldier made to praise his Lord | D |
| And David rests beneath Eternal wings | C |
| Song on his lips and in his hand a sword | D |
