Flying Squirrels Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCB DEFFE GHIIH HJKKJ HLHHL| On the rugged water shed | A |
| At the top of the bridle track | B |
| Where years ago as the old men say | C |
| The splitters went with a bullock dray | C |
| But never a dray came back | B |
| - | |
| At the time of the gum tree bloom | D |
| When the scent in the air is strong | E |
| And the blossom stirs in the evening breeze | F |
| You may see the squirrels among the trees | F |
| Playing the whole night long | E |
| - | |
| Never a care at all | G |
| Bothers their simple brains | H |
| You can see them glide in the moonlight dim | I |
| From tree to tree and from limb to limb | I |
| Little grey aeroplanes | H |
| - | |
| Each like a dormouse sleeps | H |
| In the spout of a gum tree old | J |
| A ball of fur with a silver coat | K |
| Each with his tail around his throat | K |
| For fear of his catching cold | J |
| - | |
| These are the things he eats | H |
| Asking his friends to dine | L |
| Moths and beetles and newborn shoots | H |
| Honey and snacks of the native fruits | H |
| And a glass of dew for wine | L |
