Riding Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEE FFCC GGHH DDII| Who are these that go to the high peaks and the snow | A |
| Side by side do they ride their steady eyes aglow | A |
| Gallant gentlemen they go spurring o'er the plain | B |
| Home from the war again | C |
| - | |
| As they pass without a sound there is many a red wound | D |
| Oh pale they are and faint they are these warriors renowned | D |
| Yet smiling all together in the calm sweet weather | E |
| As they ride home together | E |
| - | |
| Where the white bed is spread and the feast is set afar | F |
| And the welcome awaits and the door stands ajar | F |
| Those who droop to the saddle bow they shall have rest enow | C |
| Quiet and rest enow | C |
| - | |
| Like leaves of a wood vast their numbers as they passed | G |
| Like winds in the pines their horses speeding fast | G |
| And spent with victory their haggard faces be | H |
| As they ride fast and free | H |
| - | |
| Some will meet and greet them as they leap to the ground | D |
| With soft cries wet eyes and fond arms around | D |
| Lead them in to begin New Life to which all loves | I |
| Home like a flock of doves | I |
