The Lifelong War Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCA DEFDEF| Still goes the strife the anguish does not die | A |
| Stronger the flesh is grown from earthy years | B |
| In siege about my soul that upward peers | B |
| To see and hold its Good The spirit's eye | A |
| Approves the better things but senses spy | A |
| The passing sweets spurning the present fears | B |
| And take their moment's prize Ah then hot tears | C |
| Deluge my soul and contrite moans my cry | A |
| - | |
| Courage my heart bright patience to the end | D |
| Few years remain then goes the warring wall | E |
| Of sensely flesh that men will throw to earth | F |
| So be it so the contrite soul shall wend | D |
| A homeward way unto the Captain's call | E |
| Eternally to know contrition's worth | F |
