Suicide In The Trenches Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDE FFGG| I knew a simple soldier boy | A |
| Who grinned at life in empty joy | A |
| Slept soundly through the lonesome dark | B |
| And whistled early with the lark | B |
| - | |
| In winter trenches cowed and glum | C |
| With crumps and lice and lack of rum | C |
| He put a bullet through his brain | D |
| No one spoke of him again | E |
| - | |
| You snug faced crowds with kindling eye | F |
| Who cheer when soldier lads march by | F |
| Sneak home and pray you'll never know | G |
| The hell where youth and laughter go | G |
