Prelude To Departmental Ditties And Other Verses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH

I have eaten your bread and saltA
I have drunk your water and wineB
The deaths ye died I have watched be sideC
And the lives that ye led were mineB
-
Was there aught that I did not shareD
In vigil or toil or easeE
One joy or woe that I did not knowF
Dear hearts across the seasE
-
I have written the tale of our lifeG
For a sheltered people's mirthH
In jesting guise but ye are wiseI
And ye know what the jest is worthH

Rudyard Kipling
