In The Pink Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII| So Davies wrote This leaves me in the pink | A |
| Then scrawled his name Your loving sweetheart Willie | B |
| With crosses for a hug He'd had a drink | A |
| Of rum and tea and though the barn was chilly | B |
| For once his blood ran warm he had pay to spend | C |
| Winter was passing soon the year would mend | C |
| - | |
| He couldn't sleep that night Stiff in the dark | D |
| He groaned and thought of Sundays at the farm | E |
| When he'd go out as cheerful as a lark | D |
| In his best suit to wander arm in arm | E |
| With brown eyed Gwen and whisper in her ear | F |
| The simple silly things she liked to hear | F |
| - | |
| And then he thought to morrow night we trudge | G |
| Up to the trenches and my boots are rotten | H |
| Five miles of stodgy clay and freezing sludge | G |
| And everything but wretchedness forgotten | H |
| To night he's in the pink but soon he'll die | I |
| And still the war goes on he don't know why | I |
