Enemies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF| He stood alone in some queer sunless place | A |
| Where Armageddon ends Perhaps he longed | B |
| For days he might have lived but his young face | A |
| Gazed forth untroubled and suddenly there thronged | B |
| Round him the hulking Germans that I shot | C |
| When for his death my brooding rage was hot | C |
| - | |
| He stared at them half wondering and then | D |
| They told him how I'd killed them for his sake | E |
| Those patient stupid sullen ghosts of men | D |
| And still there seemed no answer he could make | E |
| At last he turned and smiled One took his hand | F |
| Because his face could make them understand | F |
