The Two Soldiers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCECE FGFGFG GHGIGH| Just at the corner of the wall | A |
| We met yes he and I | B |
| Who had not faced in camp or hall | A |
| Since we bade home good bye | B |
| And what once happened came back all | A |
| Out of those years gone by | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| And that strange woman whom we knew | C |
| And loved long dead and gone | D |
| Whose poor half perished residue | C |
| Tombless and trod lay yon | E |
| But at this moment to our view | C |
| Rose like a phantom wan | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| And in his fixed face I could see | F |
| Lit by a lurid shine | G |
| The drama re enact which she | F |
| Had dyed incarnadine | G |
| For us and more And doubtless he | F |
| Beheld it too in mine | G |
| - | |
| - | |
| A start as at one slightly known | G |
| And with an indifferent air | H |
| We passed without a sign being shown | G |
| That as it real were | I |
| A memory acted scene had thrown | G |
| Its tragic shadow there | H |
