The Veteran Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDCECEFGFG

Here must I sit and stareA
Withered and wrinkledB
Knowing the spaces thereA
With blood are sprinkledB
Why in the smoky skyC
Missed I the sad truthD
Why did I not dieC
Young with the blood of youthD
Why did I not dieC
Hot in the heat of noonE
Here must I sleep and lieC
Under a cool moonE
Here must I die acageF
Pale in the pale lightG
Cold in my icy ageF
Cold in the icy nightG
