Antarctic Pioneers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHJ KJKJJLJL MFMFEJEJ| Because some unimportant man | A |
| In politics talks loud and high | B |
| Or some wild economic plan | A |
| To lift depression takes his eye | B |
| The apathetic citizen | C |
| Pays little heed in these dark days | D |
| To Mawson and his merry men | E |
| Back from the desolate sea ways | D |
| - | |
| 'A rather chilly trip ' says he | F |
| What time the page he idly flicks | G |
| With visions of an ice bound sea | F |
| Then turns again to politics | G |
| Fish fur and iceberg seal and whale | H |
| He gives the thing a passing glance | I |
| And misses all the wondrous tale | H |
| With all its high significance | J |
| - | |
| Because the voyagers return | K |
| With no tale that the mind beguiles | J |
| Of mystic caves where jewels burn | K |
| And treasure lies about in piles | J |
| We turn aside with weary sighs | J |
| The story hasn't 'pep' enough | L |
| And after all what profit lies | J |
| In all this scientific stuff | L |
| - | |
| But later when this ice locked wealth | M |
| By sturdy labor is set free | F |
| And fortne comes almost by stealth | M |
| Out of a wild Antarctic sea | F |
| We'll come with tardy praises then | E |
| And look back gladly thro' the years | J |
| For Mawson and his merry men | E |
| To set them with the Pioneers | J |
