Trench Duty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFEFGG| Shaken from sleep and numbed and scarce awake | A |
| Out in the trench with three hours' watch to take | A |
| I blunder through the splashing mirk and then | B |
| Hear the gruff muttering voices of the men | B |
| Crouching in cabins candle chinked with light | C |
| Hark There's the big bombardment on our right | C |
| Rumbling and bumping and the dark's a glare | D |
| Of flickering horror in the sectors where | D |
| We raid the Boche men waiting stiff and chilled | E |
| Or crawling on their bellies through the wire | F |
| What Stretcher bearers wanted Some one killed | E |
| Five minutes ago I heard a sniper fire | F |
| Why did he do it Starlight overhead | G |
| Blank stars I'm wide awake and some chap's dead | G |
