The Jester In The Trench Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A B A C D C A E E A| That just reminds me of a yarn he said | A |
| - | |
| And look for the body of Lofty Lane | B |
| - | |
| He had a thousand yarns inside his head | A |
| - | |
| They waited for him ready with their mirth | C |
| - | |
| And creeping smiles then suddenly turned pale | D |
| - | |
| Grew still and gazed upon the earth | C |
| - | |
| They heard no tale No further word was said | A |
| - | |
| And with his untold fun | E |
| - | |
| Half leaning on his gun | E |
| - | |
| They left him dead | A |
