A New Girl Up At White's Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH CICIJKJK EEEECLCL MNMNOEOE MPMPHQHQ CBCBERER| There's a fresh track down the paddock | A |
| Through the lightwoods to the creek | B |
| And I notice Billy Craddock | A |
| And Maloney do not speak | B |
| And The Snag is slyly bitter | C |
| When he's criticising Bill | D |
| And there's quite a foreign glitter | C |
| On the fellows at the mill | D |
| - | |
| Sid M'Mahon's turned out a dandy | E |
| With a masher coat and tie | F |
| And the engine driver Sandy | E |
| Curls his whiskers on the sly | F |
| All the boys wear paper collars | G |
| And their tombstone shirts of nights | H |
| So it's ten to one in dollars | G |
| There's a new girl up at White's | H |
| - | |
| She's a charmer from the river | C |
| But she steeps the lads in gloom | I |
| With her blue eyes all a quiver | C |
| And her hair like wattle bloom | I |
| Though she's pretty and beguiling | J |
| And so lit up like with fun | K |
| That the flowers turn to her smiling | J |
| Just as if she was the sun | K |
| - | |
| But I wish she'd leave the valley | E |
| For the camp is dull to me | E |
| Now the mill hands never rally | E |
| For the regulation spree | E |
| And there's not another joker | C |
| Gives a tinker's curse for nap | L |
| Or will take a hand at poker | C |
| Or at euchre with a chap | L |
| - | |
| Tom won't stir us with his fiddle | M |
| By the boilers as he did | N |
| While Bob stepped it in the middle | M |
| And we passed the billy lid | N |
| Ah we had some gay old nights there | O |
| But the boys now don't agree | E |
| And they hang about at White's there | O |
| When they've togged up after tea | E |
| - | |
| With the gloves we have no battle | M |
| Now they sneak away and moon | P |
| Round with White discussing cattle | M |
| All the Sunday afternoon | P |
| There's a want of old uprightness | H |
| Too has come upon the push | Q |
| And a sort of cold politeness | H |
| That's not called for in the bush | Q |
| - | |
| They're all off too in that quarter | C |
| Kate goes sev'ral times a week | B |
| Seeing Andy Kelly's daughter | C |
| Jimmy's sister up the creek | B |
| And this difference seems a pity | E |
| Since their chances are so slim | R |
| While they are running after Kitty | E |
| She is running after Jim | R |
