To Victory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE DGHG HHHHReturn to greet me colours that were my joy | A |
Not in the woeful crimson of men slain | B |
But shining as a garden come with the streaming | C |
Banners of dawn and sundown after rain | B |
- | |
I want to fill my gaze with blue and silver | D |
Radiance through living roses spires of green | E |
Rising in young limbed copse and lovely wood | F |
Where the hueless wind passes and cries unseen | E |
- | |
I am not sad only I long for lustre | D |
I am tired of the greys and browns and the leafless ash | G |
I would have hours that move like a glitter of dancers | H |
Far from the angry guns that boom and flash | G |
- | |
Return musical gay with blossom and fleetness | H |
Days when my sight shall be clear and my heart rejoice | H |
Come from the sea with breadth of approaching brightness | H |
When the blithe wind laughs on the hills with uplifted voice | H |
