Bacchus Marsh Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCD AEAEEFEEF EEEEEAEEA AGAGAEAAEHere she bides a buxom lady | A |
Blest by peace and great content | B |
Dwelling by her byways shady | A |
Where the elm trees boughs are bent | B |
Shutting out the world's wild clamor | C |
Lending to her streets a glamour | C |
Gracious and beneficent | D |
- | |
- | |
Fortune came to her full easy | A |
Asking little of man's toil | E |
So she prospered in those breezy | A |
Days when wealth sprang from the soil | E |
And kind earth munificently | E |
As the placid seasons passed | F |
For man's fortune proffered gently | E |
Rich and gracious gifts in plenty | E |
Drawn from out her storehouse vast | F |
- | |
- | |
Portly dame untuned to trouble | E |
Destined through the years to be | E |
While the ills of earth redouble | E |
Sheltered in tranquility | E |
Asking neither fame nor glory | E |
And with quiet dilligence | A |
Tending earth that tells the story | E |
Of an age long gone and hoary | E |
And the young world's turbulence | A |
- | |
- | |
Brown hills broody in the diatnce | A |
Fecund fields that won their worth | G |
Out of nature's mad insistence | A |
To remould her tortured earth | G |
These have left their age old traces | A |
In the glacier's graven trail | E |
Thro' the wondrous green oasis | A |
Where the pleasant river races | A |
To the sea from this calm vale | E |
