Camperdown Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD EFGFHHII EJEJAAAA AKAKLLAA| The dignity of Camperdown | A |
| Is not to be denied | B |
| Where Leura looks upon the town | A |
| And that lush countryside | B |
| And comfortable stout and sleek | C |
| She wears the air of one who'd seek | C |
| To mind her manners rather much | D |
| And cultivate the English touch | D |
| - | |
| A haughty lady prone to row | E |
| Her eyebrows when the road | F |
| Brings in some traveller whose ways | G |
| Tend to offend her code | F |
| The robust life of modern towns | H |
| Suits ill her verdant dells and downs | H |
| She is particular aloof | I |
| As witness many a manor roof | I |
| - | |
| 'Tis said that Leura long ago | E |
| Belched flames up to the sky | J |
| And turbulently sought to throw | E |
| Stones at the passers by | J |
| And her rich ashes raining down | A |
| Bequeathed great wealth to Camperdown | A |
| But turbulence in youth begun | A |
| Is now taboo It 'isn't done' | A |
| - | |
| And Camperdown of gracious mien | A |
| Brings joy to him who views | K |
| The glamor of her peaceful scene | A |
| And placid avenues | K |
| A proper town that sets the pace | L |
| And sets the scene for civic grace | L |
| And will might many another town | A |
| Adopt the air of Camperdown | A |
