The Free Selector Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEE FDGH EEEE| Ye sons of industry to you I belong | A |
| And to you I would dedicate a verse or a song | A |
| Rejoicing o'er the victory John Robertson has won | B |
| Now the Land Bill has passed and the good time has come | C |
| - | |
| No more with our swags through the bush need we roam | D |
| For to ask of another there to give us a home | D |
| Now the land is unfettered and we may reside | E |
| In a home of our own by some clear waterside | E |
| - | |
| On some fertile spot which we may call our own | F |
| Where the rich verdure grows we will build up a home | D |
| There industry will flourish and content will smile | G |
| While our children rejoicing will share in our toil | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| We will plant our garden and sow our own field | E |
| And eat from the fruits which industry will yield | E |
| And be independent what we long for have strived | E |
| Though those that have ruled us the right long denied | E |
