A Christmas Ghost Story. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEE FFEE| South 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 |
