Sonnet: Ypres Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEECD| She was a city of patience of proud name | A |
| Dimmed by neglecting Time of beauty and loss | B |
| Of acquiescence in the creeping moss | B |
| But on a sudden fierce destruction came | A |
| Tigerishly pouncing thunderbolt and flame | A |
| Showered on her streets to shatter them and toss | B |
| Her ancient towers to ashes Riven across | B |
| She rose dead into never dying fame | A |
| White against heavens of storm a ghost she is known | C |
| To the world's ends The myriads of the brave | D |
| Sleep round her Desolately glorified | E |
| She moon like draws her own far moving tide | E |
| Of sorrow and memory toward her each alone | C |
| Glide the dark dreams that seek an English grave | D |
