The Messages Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BAC BAA BAA BAA| beside me in the trench and three | A |
| Whispered their dying messages to me | A |
| - | |
| Back from the trenches more dead than alive | B |
| Stone deaf and dazed and with a broken knee | A |
| He hobbled slowly muttering vacantly | C |
| - | |
| I cannot quite remember There were five | B |
| Dropt dead beside me in the trench and three | A |
| Whispered their dying messages to me | A |
| - | |
| Their friends are waiting wondering how they thrive | B |
| Waiting a word in silence patiently | A |
| But what they said or who their friends may be | A |
| - | |
| I cannot quite remember There where five | B |
| Dropt dead beside me in the trench and three | A |
| Whispered their dying messages to me | A |
