The Retirement Of Mars Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| He pauses on his way and gazing back | A |
| across the desert ways of splintered steel | B |
| recalls the noon and sees his weary track | A |
| and sees the bloody imprint of his heel | B |
| A Mars long tired he stands a noble Mars | C |
| Stiff with the staggering day and fields hard won | D |
| His bruised helm is glittering with scars | C |
| that gleam afar and spy the setting sun | D |
| With red plumes doffed and foe revering face | E |
| he moves adroop to seek the sea the waves | F |
| to seek the sighing winds the shades of space | E |
| and rest his heart within Twilight Caves | F |
| The dazzling axe is deep its lord abed | G |
| The dead are lying with the friendly dead | G |
