Guns At The Front Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CAAC BDDB EFFE GEEG| Man simple and brave easily confiding | A |
| Giving his all glad of the sun's sweetness | B |
| Heeding little of pitiful incompleteness | B |
| Mending life with laughter and cheerful chiding | A |
| - | |
| Where is he I see him not but I hear | C |
| Sounds charged with nothing but death and maiming | A |
| Earth and sky empty of all but flaming | A |
| Bursts and shocks that stun the waiting ear | C |
| - | |
| Monsters roaring aloud with hideous vastness | B |
| Nothing Nothing Nothing And man that made them | D |
| Mightier far than himself has stooped and obeyed them | D |
| Schooled his mind to endure its own aghastness | B |
| - | |
| Serving death destruction and things inert | E |
| He the soarer free of heavens to roam in | F |
| He whose heart has a world of light to home in | F |
| Confounding day with darkness flesh with dirt | E |
| - | |
| Oh dear indeed the cause that so can prove him | G |
| Pitilessly self tested If no cause beaconed | E |
| Beyond this chaos better he bled unreckoned | E |
| With his own monsters bellowing madness above him | G |
