The Dug-out Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE| Why do you lie with your legs ungainly huddled | A |
| And one arm bent across your sullen cold | B |
| Exhausted face It hurts my heart to watch you | C |
| Deep shadow'd from the candle's guttering gold | B |
| And you wonder why I shake you by the shoulder | D |
| Drowsy you mumble and sigh and turn your head | E |
| You are too young to fall asleep for ever | D |
| And when you sleep you remind me of the dead | E |
