By Wood And Wold Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEF GHGIJKJKLMLN| Lightly the breath of the spring wind blows | A |
| Though laden with faint perfume | B |
| 'Tis the fragrance rare that the bushman knows | A |
| The scent of the wattle bloom | B |
| Two thirds of our journey at least are done | C |
| Old horse let us take a spell | D |
| In the shade from the glare of the noon day sun | C |
| Thus far we have travell'd well | D |
| Your bridle I'll slip your saddle ungirth | E |
| And lay them beside this log | F |
| For you'll roll in that track of reddish earth | E |
| And shake like a water dog | F |
| - | |
| Upon yonder rise there's a clump of trees | G |
| Their shadows look cool and broad | H |
| You can crop the grass as fast as you please | G |
| While I stretch my limbs on the sward | I |
| 'Tis pleasant I ween with a leafy screen | J |
| O'er the weary head to lie | K |
| On the mossy carpet of emerald green | J |
| 'Neath the vault of the azure sky | K |
| Thus all alone by the wood and wold | L |
| I yield myself once again | M |
| To the memories old that like tales fresh told | L |
| Come flitting across the brain | N |
