A Fallen Leaf Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDEE F| When Death has crossed my name from out the roll | A |
| Of dreaming children serving in this War | B |
| And with these earthly eyes I gaze no more | B |
| Upon sweet England's grace perhaps my soul | A |
| Will visit streets down which I used to stroll | A |
| At sunset charm d dusks when London's roar | B |
| Like ebbing surf on some Atlantic shore | B |
| Would trance the ear Then may I hear no toll | A |
| - | |
| Of heavy bells to burden all the air | C |
| With tuneless grief for happy will I be | D |
| What place on earth could ever be more fair | C |
| Than God's own presence Mourn not then for me | D |
| Nor write I pray He gave upon my clod | E |
| His life to England but his soul to God | E |
| - | |
| Isle of Sheppey | F |
