Rhyme Scheme: AABCDBDCEEFGHFHGIIJG CJCG| Here in the noisy night | A |
| Is his delight | A |
| Where maxims pour | B |
| Their thudding lead | C |
| Upon the ground | D |
| And on the shore | B |
| He revels in the sound | D |
| And lies among the dead | C |
| Here where the sniper lies | E |
| Beneath the skies | E |
| In hungry wait | F |
| And gasping shells | G |
| Disgorge red death | H |
| This is his fate | F |
| To love war s rhythmic breath | H |
| And war s discordant knells | G |
| Here on the parapet | I |
| His foes he met | I |
| See where they sleep | J |
| In battered lines | G |
| Here lies his bed | C |
| So long and deep | J |
| And on his broken head | C |
| A shaft from Heaven shines | G |
