Blue Mountain Pioneers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJ| The dauntless three For twenty days and nights | A |
| These heroes battled with the haughty heights | A |
| For twenty spaces of the star and sun | B |
| These Romans kept their harness buckled on | C |
| By gaping gorges and by cliffs austere | D |
| These fathers struggled in the great old year | D |
| Their feet they set on strange hills scarred by fire | E |
| Their strong arms forced a path through brake and briar | E |
| They fought with Nature till they reached the throne | F |
| Where morning glittered on the great UNKNOWN | F |
| There in a time with praise and prayer supreme | G |
| Paused Blaxland Lawson Wentworth in a dream | G |
| There where the silver arrows of the day | H |
| Smote slope and spire they halted on their way | H |
| Behind them were the conquered hills they faced | I |
| The vast green West with glad strange beauty graced | I |
| And every tone of every cave and tree | J |
| Was as a voice of splendid prophecy | J |
