Joy-bells Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA DEDE| Ring your sweet bells but let them be farewells | A |
| To the green vista'd gladness of the past | B |
| That changed us into soldiers swing your bells | A |
| To a joyful chime but let it be the last | B |
| - | |
| What means this metal in windy belfries hung | C |
| When guns are all our need Dissolve these bells | A |
| Whose tones are tuned for peace with martial tongue | C |
| Let them cry doom and storm the sun with shells | A |
| - | |
| Bells are like fierce browed prelates who proclaim | D |
| That if our Lord returned He'd fight for us | E |
| So let our bells and bishops do the same | D |
| Shoulder to shoulder with the motor bus | E |
