Sonnets Of The Empire: Australia 1914 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEFDE| The Night is thick with storm and driving cloud | A |
| Lurid at instants through the blackness break | B |
| Quick gleams of war across the perilous lake | B |
| From yonder isles that awe and magic shroud | A |
| Far in the northland smite Thor s hammers loud | A |
| On steel that warlocks for her spoilure make | B |
| Till lo from sleep Australia starts awake | B |
| And lifts the queenly head that sloth had bowed | A |
| - | |
| Not yet her eyes are clear throughout her brain | C |
| Still swarm the antic creatures of her dream | D |
| The idiot jests the sports that kill the soul | E |
| Yet shall not night lay hold on her again | F |
| For through the rack she spies the morning gleam | D |
| Clear on the sword that lights her to her goal | E |
