Remorse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEDEFFGG| Lost in the swamp and welter of the pit | A |
| He flounders off the duck boards only he knows | B |
| Each flash and spouting crash each instant lit | A |
| When gloom reveals the streaming rain He goes | B |
| Heavily blindly on And while he blunders | C |
| Could anything be worse than this he wonders | C |
| Remembering how he saw those Germans run | D |
| Screaming for mercy among the stumps of trees | E |
| Green faced they dodged and darted there was one | D |
| Livid with terror clutching at his knees | E |
| Our chaps were sticking 'em like pigs O hell | F |
| He thought there's things in war one dare not tell | F |
| Poor father sitting safe at home who reads | G |
| Of dying heroes and their deathless deeds | G |
