Green Walls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBAAB CDEDDEED FAFAAFFA| I love all gum trees well But best of all | A |
| I love the tough old warriors that tower | B |
| About these lawns to make a great green wall | A |
| And guard like sentries this exotic bower | B |
| Of shrub and fern and flower | B |
| These are my land's own sons lean straight and tall | A |
| Where crimson parrots and grey gang gangs call | A |
| Thro' many a sunlit hour | B |
| - | |
| My friends these grave old veterans scarred and stem | C |
| Changeless throughout the changing seasons they | D |
| But at their knees their tall sons lift and yearn | E |
| Slim spars and saplings prone to sport and sway | D |
| Like carefree boys at play | D |
| Waxing in beauty when their young locks turn | E |
| To crimson and like beaconfires burn | E |
| To deck Spring's holiday | D |
| - | |
| I think of Anzacs when the dusk comes down | F |
| Upon the gums of Anzacs tough and tall | A |
| Guarding this gateway Diggers strong and brown | F |
| And when thro' Winter's thunderings sounds their call | A |
| Like Anzacs too they fall | A |
| Their ranks grow thin upon the hill's high crown | F |
| My sentinels But where those ramparts frown | F |
| Their stout sons mend the wall | A |
