Sydney Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABDAEFGEFG| In her grey majesty of ancient stone | A |
| She queens it proudly though the sun's caress | B |
| Her piteous cheeks ravished of bloom confess | B |
| And her dark eyes his bridegroom glance have know | C |
| Robed in her flowing parks serene alone | A |
| She fronts the east and with the tropic stress | B |
| Her smooth brow ripples into weariness | D |
| Yet hers the sea for footstool and for throne | A |
| A continent predestined Round her trails | E |
| The turbid squalor of her streets and dim | F |
| Into the dark heat haze her domes flow up | G |
| Her long lean fingers with their grey old nails | E |
| Giving her thirsty lips to the cool brim | F |
| Of the bronze beauty of her harbour's cup | G |
