Marching Men Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF

Under the level winter skyA
I saw a thousand Christs go byA
They sang an idle song and freeB
As they went up to calvaryB
-
Careless of eye and coarse of lipC
They marched in holiest fellowshipC
That heaven might heal the world they gaveD
Their earth born dreams to deck the graveD
-
With souls unpurged and steadfast breathE
They supped the sacrament of deathE
And for each one far off apartF
Seven swords have rent a woman's heartF
