The Iron Crags Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDDFGHGHIJIJJF GKGKLMLMNF| UPON the iron crags of War I heard his terrible daughters | A |
| In battle speak while at their feet | B |
| In gulfs of human waters | A |
| A voice intoning 'Where is God ' in ceaseless sorrow beat | B |
| And to my heart in doubt I said | C |
| 'God God's above the storm | D |
| O heart be brave be comforted | E |
| And keep your hearth stone warm | D |
| For her who breasts the storm | D |
| God's Peace the fair of form ' | F |
| I heard the Battle Angels cry above the slain's red mountains | G |
| While from their wings the lightnings hurled | H |
| Of Death's destroying fountains | G |
| And thunder of their revels rolled around the ruined world | H |
| Still to my heart in fear I cried | I |
| 'God God is watching there | J |
| My heart oh keep the doorway wide | I |
| Here in your House of Care | J |
| For her who wanders there | J |
| God's Peace with happy hair ' | F |
| The darkness and the battle passed and rushing on wild pinions | G |
| The hosts of Havoc shrieked their hate | K |
| And fled to Hell's dominions | G |
| And lo I heard out in the night a knocking at the gate | K |
| And one who cried aloud to me | L |
| 'The night and storm are gone | M |
| Oh open wide the door and see | L |
| Who waits here in the dawn | M |
| Peace with God's splendor on | N |
| Back to the sad world drawn ' | F |
