The Lark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHGHIJIJ KLKLFMFMFrom wrath red dawn to wrath red dawn | A |
The guns have brayed without abate | B |
And now the sick sun looks upon | C |
The bleared blood boltered fields of hate | B |
As if it loathed to rise again | D |
How strange the hush Yet sudden hark | E |
From yon down trodden gold of grain | F |
The leaping rapture of a lark | E |
- | |
A fusillade of melody | G |
That sprays us from yon trench of sky | H |
A new amazing enemy | G |
We cannot silence though we try | H |
A battery on radiant wings | I |
That from yon gap of golden fleece | J |
Hurls at us hopes of such strange things | I |
As joy and home and love and peace | J |
- | |
Pure heart of song do you not know | K |
That we are making earth a hell | L |
Or is it that you try to show | K |
Life still is joy and all is well | L |
Brave little wings Ah not in vain | F |
You beat into that bit of blue | M |
Lo we who pant in war's red rain | F |
Lift shining eyes see Heaven too | M |
