Kerosine Bay Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACAC DEDFGF FHFHIH| Tis strange on such a peaceful day | A |
| With white clouds flying o er | B |
| That foreign boats are in the bay | A |
| As prisoners of war | C |
| The Harbour where they quietly lay | A |
| Smiles brightly as of yore | C |
| - | |
| Where never angry shot was fired | D |
| To alter peaceful plans | E |
| Where British lumpers worked till tired | D |
| With Yacob and with Hans | F |
| And shouted when their work was done | G |
| For other sailormans | F |
| - | |
| And while we think of other lands | F |
| And what is doing there | H |
| And while we think of what red hands | F |
| May wreak in our despair | H |
| How can the Harbour be so blue | I |
| And the sky above so fair | H |
