Joining The Colours Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| THERE they go marching all in step so gay | A |
| Smooth cheeked and golden food for shells and guns | B |
| Blithely they go as to a wedding day | A |
| The mothers' sons | B |
| - | |
| The drab street stares to see them row on row | C |
| On the high tram tops singing like the lark | D |
| Too careless gay for courage singing they go | C |
| Into the dark | D |
| - | |
| With tin whistles mouth organs any noise | E |
| They pipe the way to glory and the grave | F |
| Foolish and young the gay and golden boys | E |
| Love cannot save | F |
| - | |
| High heart High courage The poor girls they kissed | G |
| Run with them they shall kiss no more alas | H |
| Out of the mist they stepped into the mist | G |
| Singing they pass | H |
