A Dead Boche Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCD EFEFGHTo you who'd read my songs of War | A |
And only hear of blood and fame | B |
I'll say you've heard it said before | A |
War's Hell and if you doubt the same | B |
Today I found in Mametz Wood | C |
A certain cure for lust of blood | D |
- | |
Where propped against a shattered trunk | E |
In a great mess of things unclean | F |
Sat a dead Boche he scowled and stunk | E |
With clothes and face a sodden green | F |
Big bellied spectacled crop haired | G |
Dribbling black blood from nose and beard | H |
