Above Lavender Bay Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDEDFGHIJKHK LCFCMCNC COBOPQPQ JRJRCSTS UVPVWJHJTis glorious morning everywhere | A |
Save where the alleys lie | B |
I see the fleecy steam jets bid | C |
Good morning to the sky | B |
The gullies of the waratah | C |
Are near with fall and pool | D |
And by the shadowed western rocks | E |
The bays are fresh and cool | D |
To points that hint of Italy | F |
Of Italy and Spain | G |
I see the busy ferry boats | H |
Come nosing round again | I |
To the toy station down below | J |
I see the toy trains run | K |
I wonder when those ferry boats | H |
Will get their business done | K |
- | |
Above the Bay called Lavender | L |
This bard is domiciled | C |
Where up through rich dark greenery | F |
The red tiled roofs are piled | C |
At least some are I hope that soon | M |
They all shall be red tiled | C |
A moonlight night in middle age | N |
That makes one feel a child | C |
- | |
Close over to the nearer left | C |
That feels the ocean breeze | O |
A full moon in a dim blue sky | B |
A church spire and dark trees | O |
And further right the harsher heights | P |
Of Mosman Double Bay | Q |
And Rose Bay with their scattered lights | P |
Have softened with the day | Q |
- | |
And fair across to where we know | J |
The shelving sea cliffs are | R |
The lighthouse with a still faint glow | J |
Beneath a twinkling star | R |
Across the harbour from the right | C |
And fairly in a line | S |
The Clock tower on the City Hall | T |
A ship mast and a pine | S |
- | |
The pale and bright yet dusky blue | U |
And crossed by fleecy bars | V |
Flings out the brilliant city lights | P |
The moonlight and the stars | V |
And like a transformation scene | W |
On sheet glass down below | J |
The fairy lighted ferry boats | H |
Are gliding to and fro | J |
