Wangaratta Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDC AEAECFC AEAEAGAG ABABHIHI| At the meeting of the waters | A |
| Where the dark tree shadows play | B |
| Wangaratta's sons and daughters | A |
| Dream the drowsy hours away | B |
| Placid see the season's greeting | C |
| Winter storm and summer sun | D |
| Wed to flow henceforth as one | D |
| Where two northbound rivers meeting | C |
| - | |
| Long since prone to sudden dangers | A |
| When to dim her dawning pride | E |
| Morgan and his wild bushrangers | A |
| Thronged her pleasant countryside | E |
| Now in her quiet graveyard resting | C |
| Lies old shame and that rash lad | F |
| Where a mate on tin attesting | C |
| Pleads that 'he was not all bad ' | - |
| - | |
| Crime and she are almost strangers | A |
| Now since those ill doers died | E |
| Bishops reign where once bushrangers | A |
| Slew her peace and shamed her pride | E |
| And content within her waxes | A |
| In this pious atmosphere | G |
| Where naught now save threat worn taxes | A |
| Wakens echoes of past fear | G |
| - | |
| At the meeting of the waters | A |
| Where tree shadows shift and sway | B |
| Nothing lingers here that slaughters | A |
| Her bucolic calm away | B |
| Done at last with Youth's adventure | H |
| Quiet lady slow to move | I |
| And wealthier grown she lives down censure | H |
| As she drifts in one straight groove | I |
