The Lark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHGHIJIJ KLKLFMFM| From 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 |
