Banishment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEDC| I am banished from the patient men who fight | A |
| They smote my heart to pity built my pride | B |
| Shoulder to aching shoulder side by side | B |
| They trudged away from life's broad wealds of light | A |
| Their wrongs were mine and ever in my sight | A |
| They went arrayed in honour But they died | B |
| Not one by one and mutinous I cried | B |
| To those who sent them out into the night | A |
| - | |
| The darkness tells how vainly I have striven | C |
| To free them from the pit where they must dwell | D |
| In outcast gloom convulsed and jagged and riven | C |
| By grappling guns Love drove me to rebel | E |
| Love drives me back to grope with them through hell | D |
| And in their tortured eyes I stand forgiven | C |
