1914 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCAAWar broke and now the Winter of the world | A |
With perishing great darkness closes in | B |
The foul tornado centred at Berlin | B |
Is over all the width of Europe whirled | A |
Rending the sails of progress Rent or furled | A |
Are all Art's ensigns Verse wails Now begin | B |
Famines of thought and feeling Love's wine's thin | B |
The grain of human Autumn rots down hurled | A |
- | |
For after Spring had bloomed in early Greece | C |
And Summer blazed her glory out with Rome | D |
An Autumn softly fell a harvest home | D |
A slow grand age and rich with all increase | C |
But now for us wild Winter and the need | A |
Of sowings for new Spring and blood for seed | A |
