True America's Message Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEFDE| OUR manlier spirits hear and will obey | A |
| The Word YOU waft Australia o er the sea | B |
| Be true be brave be merciful be free | B |
| Not you who braggart sent this wan array | A |
| Of hell ships vomiting their Will to Slay | A |
| These armoured Hates and pallid Envies we | B |
| Mid rattled mobs and flags hysteric see | B |
| Tarnish the chaste horizon of our Bay | A |
| - | |
| But YOU we hear our Comrades of the Cause | C |
| Who face hy na Mammon in his den | D |
| And YOU who dared your seas of blood to spill | E |
| To drag the swooning slave from vampire jaws | F |
| Yea YOU who freed unborn Australia when | D |
| You singed King George s beard at Bunker s Hill | E |
