As Far As Your Rifles Cover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB AABB| Do you think you slaves of a thousand years to poverty wealth and pride | A |
| You can crush the spirit that has been free in a land that's new and wide | A |
| When you've scattered the last of the farmer bands and the war for a while is over | B |
| You will hold the land ay you'll hold the land the land that your rifles cover | B |
| - | |
| Till your gold has levelled each mountain range where a wounded man can hide | A |
| Till your gold has lighted the moonless night on the plains where the rebels ride | A |
| Till the future is proved and the past is bribed from the son of the land's dead lover | B |
| You may hold the land you may hold the land just as far as your rifles cover | B |
