To Belgium Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGHG IJ K

Our tears our songs our laurels what are theseA
To thee in thy Gethsemane of lossB
Stretched in thine unimagined agoniesA
On Hell's last engine of the Iron CrossB
-
For such a world as this that thou shouldst dieC
Is price too vast yet Belgium hadst thou soldD
Thyself O then had fled from out the earthE
Honour for ever and left only GoldD
-
Nor diest thou for soon shalt thou awakeF
And lifted high on our victorious shieldsG
Watch the new sunrise driving for your sonsH
The hated German shadow from your fieldsG

British colonists resident in London volunteer andI
not even silk hats are doffed before training beginsJ
