Two Hundred Years After Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDBEFEF GHG| Trudging by Corbie Ridge one winter's night | A |
| Unless old hearsay memories tricked his sight | A |
| Along the pallid edge of the quiet sky | B |
| He watched a nosing lorry grinding on | C |
| And straggling files of men when these were gone | D |
| A double limber and six mules went by | B |
| Hauling the rations up through ruts and mud | E |
| To trench lines digged two hundred years ago | F |
| Then darkness hid them with a rainy scud | E |
| And soon he saw the village lights below | F |
| - | |
| But when he'd told his tale an old man said | G |
| That he'd seen soldiers pass along that hill | H |
| 'Poor silent things they were the English dead | G |
| Who came to fight in France and got their fill ' | - |
