Sonnets Of The Empire: Australia 1905 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| Careless she lies along the Southern Main | A |
| The lovely maiden wanton with the spell | B |
| Of sun and vastness and the ocean swell | B |
| Northward the great gnomes watch her beauty fain | A |
| To snatch her wealth of gold and fleece and grain | A |
| And bend her being to their purpose fell | B |
| But she lies lazy and the passing bell | B |
| Of older glory stirs her sense in vain | A |
| - | |
| Nor shall she wake and know her danger near | C |
| Till some high heart and true her fated lord | D |
| Shall kiss her lips and all her will control | E |
| And fill her wayward heart with holy fear | C |
| And cross her forehead with his iron sword | D |
| And bring her strength and armour and a soul | E |
