Peace Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDECD FGHGII| And sometimes I am sorry when the grass | A |
| Is growing over the stones in quiet hollows | B |
| And the cocksfoot leans across the rutted cart pass | A |
| That I am not the voice of country fellows | B |
| Who now are standing by some headland talking | C |
| Of turnips and potatoes or young corn | D |
| Of turf banks stripped for victory | E |
| Here Peace is still hawking | C |
| His coloured combs and scarves and beads of horn | D |
| - | |
| Upon a headland by a whinny hedge | F |
| A hare sits looking down a leaf lapped furrow | G |
| There's an old plough upside down on a weedy ridge | H |
| And someone is shouldering home a saddle harrow | G |
| Out of that childhood country what fools climb | I |
| To fight with tyrants Love and Life and Time | I |
