Stand-to: Good Friday Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBBCDECDE| I'd been on duty from two till four | A |
| I went and stared at the dug out door | A |
| Down in the frowst I heard them snore | A |
| 'Stand to ' Somebody grunted and swore | A |
| Dawn was misty the skies were still | B |
| Larks were singing discordant shrill | B |
| They seemed happy but I felt ill | B |
| Deep in water I splashed my way | C |
| Up the trench to our bogged front line | D |
| Rain had fallen the whole damned night | E |
| O Jesus send me a wound to day | C |
| And I'll believe in Your bread and wine | D |
| And get my bloody old sins washed white | E |
