This Southern Land Of Ours Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBADA BBABAADA AEBEFAAA| With alien hearts to frame our laws | A |
| And cheat us as of old | B |
| In vain our soil is rich in vain | C |
| 'Tis seamed with virgin gold | B |
| But the present only yields us nought | B |
| The future only lours | A |
| Till we dare to be a people | D |
| In this Southern Land of Ours | A |
| - | |
| What would pygmean statesmen but | B |
| Our new world prospects blast | B |
| By chaining native enterprise | A |
| To Europe's pauper past | B |
| With all its misery for the mass | A |
| And fraud upholden powers | A |
| But we'll yet have men like Cromwell | D |
| In this Southern Land of Ours | A |
| - | |
| And lo the unploughed future boys | A |
| May yet be all our own | E |
| If hearts that love their Native Land | B |
| Determine this alone | E |
| To sow its years with crops of truth | F |
| And border these with flowers | A |
| Till we have a birth of heroes | A |
| In this Southern Land of Ours | A |
