1914 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCAA

War broke and now the Winter of the worldA
With perishing great darkness closes inB
The foul tornado centred at BerlinB
Is over all the width of Europe whirledA
Rending the sails of progress Rent or furledA
Are all Art's ensigns Verse wails Now beginB
Famines of thought and feeling Love's wine's thinB
The grain of human Autumn rots down hurledA
-
For after Spring had bloomed in early GreeceC
And Summer blazed her glory out with RomeD
An Autumn softly fell a harvest homeD
A slow grand age and rich with all increaseC
But now for us wild Winter and the needA
Of sowings for new Spring and blood for seedA
