Glory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| At the crowded gangway they kissed good bye | A |
| He had half a mind to scold her | B |
| An officer's mother and not keep dry | A |
| The epaulet on his shoulder | B |
| - | |
| He had forgotten mother and fame | C |
| His mind in a blood mist floated | D |
| But when reeling back from carnage they came | C |
| One told him You are promoted | D |

| His friend smiled up from the wet red sand | E |
| The look was afar eternal | F |
| But he tried to salute with his shattered hand | E |
| Room now for another colonel | F |
| - | |
| Again he raged in that lurid hell | G |
| Where the country he loved had thrown him | H |
| You are promoted shrieked a shell | G |
| His mother would not have known him | H |
