The Soldier's Wife Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEC FGC HFI| Weary way wanderer languid and sick at heart | A |
| Travelling painfully over the rugged road | B |
| Wild visag'd Wanderer ah for thy heavy chance | C |
| - | |
| Sorely thy little one drags by thee bare footed | D |
| Cold is the baby that hangs at thy bending back | E |
| Meagre and livid and screaming its wretchedness | C |

| Woe begone mother half anger half agony | F |
| As over thy shoulder thou lookest to hush the babe | G |
| Bleakly the blinding snow beats in thy hagged face | C |

| Thy husband will never return from the war again | H |
| Cold is thy hopeless heart even as Charity | F |
| Cold are thy famish'd babes God help thee widow'd One | I |
