Bullocky Bill Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEECC FFGGCC HHIICC JJKKCC| FROM a river siding the railway town | A |
| Or the dull new port there three days down | A |
| Forward and back on the up hill track | B |
| With a creak of the jinker a ringing crack | B |
| Slow as a funeral sure as steam | C |
| Bullocky Bill and his old red team | C |
| - | |
| Ploughing around by the ti tree scrub | D |
| Four wheels down to the creeping hub | D |
| Swaying they go with their heads all low | E |
| Bally and Splodger and Spot and Jo | E |
| Men in the ranges much esteem | C |
| Bullocky Bill and his old red team | C |
| - | |
| Worming about where the tall trees spring | F |
| Surging ahead when the clay bogs cling | F |
| A rattle of lash and of language rash | G |
| On the narrow edge of immortal smash | G |
| He d thread a bead or walk a beam | C |
| Bullocky Bill with his old red team | C |
| - | |
| Climbing a ridge where the red stars ride | H |
| Straddling down on the other side | H |
| With a whistle and grind and a scramble blind | I |
| And a thundering gum tree slung behind | I |
| But they always get there hill or stream | C |
| Bullocky Bill and his old red team | C |
| - | |
| Engines or stamps for the mines about | J |
| Tools for the men who are leading out | J |
| Tucker and boose and the latest news | K |
| Back where the bunyip stirs the ooze | K |
| Pioneers with the best we deem | C |
| Bullocky Bill and his old red team | C |
