The Old Survey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDE FGHGIE JKLK ME NOCOPE| Our money's all spent to the deuce went it | A |
| The landlord he looks glum | B |
| On the tap room wall in a very bad scrawl | C |
| He has chalked to us a sum | B |
| But a glass we'll take ere the grey dawn break | D |
| And then saddle up and away | E |
| - | |
| With a measured beat fall our horses' feet | F |
| Galloping side by side | G |
| When the money's done and we've had our fun | H |
| We all are bound to ride | G |
| O'er the far off plain we'll drag the chain | I |
| And mark the settler's way | E |
| - | |
| We'll range from the creeks to the mountain peaks | J |
| And traverse far below | K |
| Where foot never trod we'll mark with a rod | L |
| The limits of endless snow | K |
| - | |
| Each lofty crag we'll plant with a flag | M |
| To flash in the sun's bright ray | E |
| - | |
| Till with cash hard earned once more returned | N |
| At The Beaver bars we'll shout | O |
| And the very bad scrawl that's against the wall | C |
| Ourselves shall see wiped out | O |
| Such were the ways in the good old days | P |
| The days of the old survey | E |
