The Army Surgeon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDECECAFGG| Over that breathing waste of friends and foes | A |
| The wounded and the dying hour by hour | B |
| In will a thousand yet but one in power | B |
| He labours thro' the red and groaning day | C |
| The fearful moorland where the myriads lay | C |
| Moved as a moving field of mangled worms | D |
| And as a raw brood orphaned in the storms | E |
| Thrust up their heads if the wind bend a spray | C |
| Above them but when the bare branch performs | E |
| No sweet parental office sink away | C |
| With hopeless chirp of woe so as he goes | A |
| Around his feet in clamorous agony | F |
| They rise and fall and all the seething plain | G |
| Bubbles a cauldron vast of many coloured pain | G |
