Literary devices
“for these who die as cattle”- This implied metaphor hints at the act of butchery, with its associated blood and guts and detachment.
Personification plays a serious role in this opening section. The guns are angry, shells wail, and bugles call. Note also the onomatopoeia and alliteration present in line three, stuttering rifles' rapid rattle, enjambment helping keep the sense of speed and energy on into line four.
The alliterative No/now/no/nor reinforces the idea that the only voices they will hear will not be human but those of military hardware, the shells that make a hideous wailing sound as they fly in.
Candles are symbols of hope and respect and are often lit in memory of those who have passed on, helping them speedily on their journey to a possible afterlife.
The pale skin of girls’ brows will metaphorically become the pall - the cloth that covers the coffin - and the flowers, traditionally placed at the graveside and around the church, will symbolise the thoughts of the mourners.
