Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLABY the bivouac's fitful flame | A |
A procession winding around me solemn and sweet and slow but first | B |
I note | C |
The tents of the sleeping army the fields' and woods' dim outline | D |
The darkness lit by spots of kindled fire the silence | E |
Like a phantom far or near an occasional figure moving | F |
The shrubs and trees as I lift my eyes they seem to be stealthily | G |
watching me | H |
While wind in procession thoughts O tender and wondrous thoughts | I |
Of life and death of home and the past and loved and of those that | J |
are far away | K |
A solemn and slow procession there as I sit on the ground | L |
By the bivouac's fitful flame | A |
