But I Was Looking At The Permanent Stars Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AB CDE FG HIJK LM

Bugles sang saddening the evening airA
And bugles answered sorrowful to hearB
-
Voices of boys were by the river sideC
Sleep mothered them and left the twilight sadD
The shadow of the morrow weighed on menE
-
Voices of old despondency resignedF
Bowed by the shadow of the morrow sleptG
-
dying toneH
Of receding voices that will not returnI
The wailing of the high far travelling shellsJ
And the deep cursing of the provokingK
-
The monstrous anger of our taciturn gunsL
The majesty of the insults of their mouthsM

Wilfred Owen
