Peace Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FBGFBG| Now God be thanked Who has matched us with His hour | A |
| And caught our youth and wakened us from sleeping | B |
| With hand made sure clear eye and sharpened power | A |
| To turn as swimmers into cleanness leaping | B |
| Glad from a world grown old and cold and weary | C |
| Leave the sick hearts that honour could not move | D |
| And half men and their dirty songs and dreary | C |
| And all the little emptiness of love | E |
| - | |
| Oh we who have known shame we have found release there | F |
| Where there's no ill no grief but sleep has mending | B |
| Naught broken save this body lost but breath | G |
| Nothing to shake the laughing heart's long peace there | F |
| But only agony and that has ending | B |
| And the worst friend and enemy is but Death | G |
