On The Night Train Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABB CCCBB DDDBB| Have you seen the bush by moonlight from the train go running by | A |
| Blackened log and stump and sapling ghostly trees all dead and dry | A |
| Here a patch of glassy water there a glimpse of mystic sky | A |
| Have you heard the still voice calling yet so warm and yet so cold | B |
| I'm the Mother Bush that bore you Come to me when you are old | B |
| - | |
| Did you see the Bush below you sweeping darkly to the Range | C |
| All unchanged and all unchanging yet so very old and strange | C |
| While you thought in softened anger of the things that did estrange | C |
| Did you hear the Bush a calling when your heart was young and bold | B |
| I'm the Mother bush that nursed you Come to me when you are old | B |
| - | |
| In the cutting or the tunnel out of sight of stock or shed | D |
| Did you hear the grey Bush calling from the pine ridge overhead | D |
| You have seen the seas and cities all is cold to you or dead | D |
| All seems done and all seems told but the grey light turns to gold | B |
| I'm the Mother Bush that loves you come to me now you are old | B |
