The poem does this by following the sorrow of common soldiers in trench warfare, perhaps the battle of the Somme, or Passchendaele. Much of the second half of the poem is dedicated to funeral rituals suffered by those families deeply affected by the First World War.
Even its indentations are irregular, not following its own rhyme scheme.
However, its rhyme scheme is neither that of a Petrarchan nor English sonnet, but irregular: ABABCDCD:EFFEGG. Like a traditional Petrarchan sonnet, the poem is divided into an octave and sestet. It incorporates the theme of the horror of war.
" Anthem for Doomed Youth" is a poem written in 1917 by Wilfred Owen.
