A Christmas Ghost Story. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEE FFEESouth of the Line inland from far Durban | A |
A mouldering soldier lies your countryman | A |
Awry and doubled up are his gray bones | B |
And on the breeze his puzzled phantom moans | B |
Nightly to clear Canopus I would know | C |
By whom and when the All Earth gladdening Law | D |
Of Peace brought in by that Man Crucified | E |
Was ruled to be inept and set aside | E |
- | |
And what of logic or of truth appears | F |
In tacking 'Anno Domini' to the years | F |
Near twenty hundred livened thus have hied | E |
But tarries yet the Cause for which He died | E |
