Antarctic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBA DEFGEF| What tale is this which stirs a world of knaves | A |
| Out of its grubbing to throw greasy pence | B |
| Forth to the hat and choke with eloquence | C |
| In boastful prose and verse of doubtful staves | A |
| Four men have died gentlemen heroes braves | A |
| Snows wrap them round eternally From thence | B |
| They may no more return to life or sense | B |
| And a steel moon aches down on their chill graves | A |
| - | |
| They died for England It is excellent | D |
| To die for England Death is oft the prize | E |
| Of him who bears the burden and the load | F |
| So with a glory let our lives be spent | G |
| We may be noble in the Minories | E |
| And die for England in the Camden Road | F |
