How Solemn As One By One Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJFGKLF| HOW solemn as one by one | A |
| As the ranks returning all worn and sweaty as the men file by where | B |
| I stand | C |
| As the faces the masks appear as I glance at the faces studying | D |
| the masks | E |
| As I glance upward out of this page studying you dear friend | F |
| whoever you are | G |
| How solemn the thought of my whispering soul to each in the ranks | H |
| and to you | I |
| I see behind each mask that wonder a kindred soul | J |
| O the bullet could never kill what you really are dear friend | F |
| Nor the bayonet stab what you really are | G |
| The soul yourself I see great as any good as the best | K |
| Waiting secure and content which the bullet could never kill | L |
| Nor the bayonet stab O friend | F |
