In Barracks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEED FFGHGHHHThe barrack square washed clean with rain | A |
Shines wet and wintry grey and cold | B |
Young Fusiliers strong legged and bold | B |
March and wheel and march again | C |
The sun looks over the barrack gate | D |
Warm and white with glaring shine | E |
To watch the soldiers of the Line | E |
That life has hired to fight with fate | D |

Fall out the long parades are done | F |
Up comes the dark down goes the sun | F |
The square is walled with windowed light | G |
Sleep well you lusty Fusiliers | H |
Shut your brave eyes on sense and sight | G |
And banish from your dreamless ears | H |
The bugle's lying notes that say | H |
Another night another day | H |
