Sick Leave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCDCDEDFD| When I'm asleep dreaming and lulled and warm | A |
| They come the homeless ones the noiseless dead | B |
| While the dim charging breakers of the storm | A |
| Bellow and drone and rumble overhead | B |
| Out of the gloom they gather about my bed | B |
| They whisper to my heart their thoughts are mine | C |
| Why are you here with all your watches ended | D |
| From Ypres to Frise we sought you in the Line | C |
| In bitter safety I awake unfriended | D |
| And while the dawn begins with slashing rain | E |
| I think of the Battalion in the mud | D |
| When are you going out to them again | F |
| Are they not still your brothers through our blood | D |
