The Heritage Of Ease Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEE FFGGHH IIJJKK LMNOCI| Are we so flabby and are we so soft | A |
| I have pondered the question long and oft | B |
| And happy go lucky we may appear | C |
| When the fat and easy days are here | D |
| When it's easy come and it's easy go | E |
| And there's never a long hard row to hoe | E |
| - | |
| But exceedingly hard and remarkably tough | F |
| Are the terms that fit when the days grow rough | F |
| And Australia faces the jobs ahead | G |
| That fall in the seasons of stress and dread | G |
| And the sturdier stuff of the pioneers | H |
| Has not all gone with the old stern years | H |
| - | |
| And the tasks we faced and the loads we bore | I |
| When the folly of nations brought us war | I |
| Were not too many and not too great | J |
| To bend our backs or to halt our gait | J |
| For the same old metal they tried anew | K |
| And then as ever the stuff rang true | K |
| - | |
| But the soft times came and the seed we sowed | L |
| On the days we travelled the easy road | M |
| We must harvest now as we all repent | N |
| Of a flabbiness passed to a Government | O |
| And nurtured there while we rage and rear | C |
| To be up and waging the fight once more | I |
