Sydney Nocturnes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBCDCDEBEBDFDF| From The North Shore | A |
| TO Day she would not show her charms | B |
| But now the Night beseeches | B |
| A white reproach of wistful arms | B |
| Over the bay she reaches | B |
| Upon her gleaming bosom wet | C |
| With tears and quivering | D |
| In ropes of golden beauty set | C |
| Her vivid jewels swing | D |
| Upon the pathway of the night | E |
| She pausing often paces | B |
| About her body waves gleam white | E |
| Like froth of filmy laces | B |
| And to her pleasure hurrying | D |
| Their torches holding high | F |
| On molten waters smouldering | D |
| The ferry boats flame by | F |
