His Bit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDCECEFGFH| GALLANTLY swung the old carpenter up to his door | A |
| Drums and fifes in his tread | B |
| But softly he crossed the braided mats on the floor | A |
| Gently he stroked her head | B |
| 'More folks were there at the station than ever I knew | C |
| Bidding the lad good by | D |
| Here's a daisy he picked at the platform's edge for you | C |
| Kissing it on the sly | D |
| 'He'll do his part our boy on the fighting line' | C |
| She caught the flower to her lips | E |
| 'And you with your knitting and I have signed up for mine | C |
| Work on the wooden ships | E |
| 'Oh but it's hard to be old when the bugles call | F |
| Yet I hav'n't lost my chance | G |
| I'll be in the shipyard the day the first trees fall | F |
| Before the boy's in France ' | H |
