A Call To National Service Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ACCA DEF DEF G| Up and be doing all who have a hand | A |
| To lift a back to bend It must not be | B |
| In times like these that vaguely linger we | B |
| To air our vaunts and hopes and leave our land | A |
| - | |
| Untended as a wild of weeds and sand | A |
| Say then I come and go O women and men | C |
| Of palace ploughshare easel counter pen | C |
| That scareless scathless England still may stand | A |
| - | |
| Would years but let me stir as once I stirred | D |
| At many a dawn to take the forward track | E |
| And with a stride plunged on to enterprize | F |
| - | |
| I now would speed like yester wind that whirred | D |
| Through yielding pines and serve with never a slack | E |
| So loud for promptness all around outcries | F |
