Because We Are Going Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCECFCFGG| Because we are going from our wonted places | A |
| To be task ridden by one shattering Aim | B |
| And terror hides in all our laughing faces | A |
| That had no will to die no thirst for fame | B |
| Hear our last word In Hell we seek for Heaven | C |
| The agony of wounds shall make us clean | D |
| And the failures of our sloth shall be forgiven | C |
| When Silence holds the songs that might have been | E |
| And what we served remains superb unshaken | C |
| England our June of blossom that shines above | F |
| Disastrous War for whom we have forsaken | C |
| Ways that were rich and gleeful and filled with love | F |
| Thus are we heroes since we might not choose | G |
| To live where Honour gave us life to lose | G |
