Above The Battle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CADCDA| Honor and pity for the smitten field | A |
| The valorous ranks mown down like precious corn | B |
| Whose want must famish love morn after morn | B |
| Till Death the good physician shall have healed | A |
| The craving and the tearspent eyelids sealed | A |
| Proud be the homes that for each cannon torn | B |
| Encrimsoned rampart have been left forlorn | B |
| Holy the knells o'er fallen patriots pealed | A |
| - | |
| But they above the battle throng a space | C |
| Of starry silences and silver rest | A |
| Commingled ghosts they press like brothers through | D |
| White dove winged portals where one Father's face | C |
| Atones their passion as the ethereal blue | D |
| Serenes the fiery glows of east and west | A |
