Bombardment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF GHIJ KLMNO| Four days the earth was rent and torn | A |
| By bursting steel | B |
| The houses fell about us | C |
| Three nights we dared not sleep | D |
| Sweating and listening for the imminent crash | E |
| Which meant our death | F |
| - | |
| The fourth night every man | G |
| Nerve tortured racked to exhaustion | H |
| Slept muttering and twitching | I |
| While the shells crashed overhead | J |
| - | |
| The fifth day there came a hush | K |
| We left our holes | L |
| And looked above the wreckage of the earth | M |
| To where the white clouds moved in silent lines | N |
| Across the untroubled blue | O |
