Victor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD ECECFGFG HIHIJKLK| And his death came in December | A |
| When our summer was aglow | B |
| Like a song that we remember | A |
| Like a child s dream long ago | B |
| And it brought Australia to him | C |
| Her sweetest singer dead | D |
| While in silence friends who knew him | C |
| Bowed their heads beside his bed | D |
| - | |
| Angel Death comes softly stealing | E |
| When the watchers eyes are dim | C |
| And when all has failed in healing | E |
| Wounded heart or helpless limb | C |
| With a whisper we may hear not | F |
| Till with Adsum we respond | G |
| And a vision we shall fear not | F |
| Of the Peaceful Land beyond | G |
| - | |
| While Australians in their blindness | H |
| Fail to realize their loss | I |
| Place the wreath of loving kindness | H |
| And raise the simple cross | I |
| For he taught us to be brothers | J |
| And he taught us to be brave | K |
| And we ll banish pride and envy | L |
| With a hand clasp by his grave | K |
