Where The Battle Passed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHIHIJKJL| ONE blossoming rose tree like a beautiful thought | A |
| Nursed in a broken mind that waits and schemes | B |
| Survives though shattered and about it caught | C |
| The strangling dodder streams | B |
| Gaunt weeds and here a bayonet or pouch | D |
| Rusty and rotting where men fought and slew | E |
| Bald trampled paths that seem with fear to crouch | D |
| Feeling a bloody dew | E |
| Here nothing that was beauty's once remains | F |
| War left the garden to its dead alone | G |
| And Life and Love who toiled here for their pains | F |
| Have nothing once their own | G |
| Death leans upon the battered door at gaze | H |
| The house is silent where there once was stir | I |
| Of husbandry that led laborious days | H |
| With Love for comforter | I |
| Now in Love's place Death old and halt and blind | J |
| Gropes searching everywhere for what may live | K |
| War left it empty as his vacant mind | J |
| It has no more to give | L |
