Memorial Tablet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBA CDDCEFFG| Squire nagged and bullied till I went to fight | A |
| Under Lord Derby's Scheme I died in hell | B |
| They called it Passchendaele My wound was slight | A |
| And I was hobbling back and then a shell | B |
| Burst slick upon the duck boards so I fell | B |
| Into the bottomless mud and lost the light | A |
| - | |
| At sermon time while Squire is in his pew | C |
| He gives my gilded name a thoughtful stare | D |
| For though low down upon the list I'm there | D |
| 'In proud and glorious memory' that's my due | C |
| Two bleeding years I fought in France for Squire | E |
| I suffered anguish that he's never guessed | F |
| Once I came home on leave and then went west | F |
| What greater glory could a man desire | G |
