Rhyme Scheme: ABACBACC DEDFGGDF| Derision from the dead | A |
| Mocks armamental madness | B |
| Redeem each Ruler said | A |
| Mankind Men died to do it | C |
| And some with glorying gladness | B |
| Bore arms for earth and bled | A |
| But most went glumly through it | C |
| Dumbly doomed to rue it | C |

| Our bones with wrongs rewarded | G |
| Dream voices these denying | D |
| Dud laurels to the last | F |
