In A Forest Garden: A Promise Of Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBAAB CDCDDCCD EFEFFEEG HIHIIHHI| Spring surely must be near High over head | A |
| The kind blue heavens bend to timbers tall | B |
| And here this morning is the picture spread | A |
| That I have learned to love the best of all | B |
| I hear Flame Robin call | B |
| His early love song Winter's might is sped | A |
| And young crows now begin to fleck with red | A |
| This great green living wall | B |
| - | |
| Picture of promise that I count the best | C |
| Of many a fair familiar Bushland scene | D |
| Lifting o'er all the far mount's sunlit crest | C |
| Looks down where silver wattles lightly screen | D |
| Blue smoke that peeps between | D |
| Their tall tops from some settler's hidden nest | C |
| Looks down on golden wattles closely pressed | C |
| To blackwood's luscious green | D |
| - | |
| Before the dovecote mirrored in the pond | E |
| A veil diaphanous of drifting mist | F |
| Makes many a nimbus for grey gums beyond | E |
| Whose gaunt grey limbs a mountain sun has kissed | F |
| To palest amethyst | F |
| Now stepping very daintily with fond | E |
| Soft cooings fantails on the lawn respond | E |
| To Spring the amorist | G |
| - | |
| From the deep forest on the clean crisp air | H |
| The bushman's axe blows echo sharply clear | I |
| A soft cloud's tattered fleece drifts idly where | H |
| Glows azure hope Impatient to appear | I |
| Springs now full many a spear | I |
| Of marching daffodils Shorn of cold care | H |
| The joyous bush birds vie with flutings rare | H |
| Spring surely must be near | I |
