Never, Never Land Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCD EDFGHGIDJD KLKLDMNM OPQPRARA STSTUDGD

By hut homestead and shearing shedA
By railroad coach and trackB
By lonely graves where rest the deadA
Up Country and Out BackB
To where beneath the clustered starsC
The dreamy plains expandD
-
My home lies wide a thousand milesE
In Never Never LandD
It lies beyond the farming beltF
Wide wastes of scrub and plainG
A blazing desert in the droughtH
A lake land after rainG
To the skyline sweeps the waving grassI
Or whirls the scorching sandD
A phantom land a mystic realmJ
The Never Never LandD
-
Where lone Mount Desolation liesK
Mounts Dreadful and DespairL
'Tis lost beneath the rainless skiesK
In hopeless deserts thereL
It spreads nor west by No Man's LandD
Where clouds are seldom seenM
To where the cattle stations lieN
Three hundred miles betweenM
-
The drovers of the Great Stock RoutesO
The strange Gulf country KnowP
Where travelling from the southern droughtsQ
The big lean bullocks goP
And camped by night where plains lie wideR
Like some old ocean's bedA
The watchmen in the starlight rideR
Round fifteen hundred headA
-
Lest in the city I forgetS
True mateship after allT
My water bag and billy yetS
Are hanging on the wallT
And I to save my soul againU
Would tramp to sunsets grandD
With sad eyed mates across the plainG
In Never Never LandD
