When The Bush Begins To Speak Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBBBB CCBBBBB DDBBBBB AABBBBB

They know us not in England yet their pens are overboldA
We're seen in fancy pictures that are fifty years too oldA
They think we are a careless race a childish race and weakB
They'll know us yet in England when the bush begins to speakB
When the bush begins to speakB
When the bush begins to speakB
When the west by Greed's invaded and the bush begins to speakB
-
'The leaders that will be' the men of southern destinyC
Are not all found in cities that are builded by the seaC
They learn to love Australia by many a western creekB
They'll know them yet in England when the bush begins to speakB
When the bush begins to speakB
When the bush begins to speakB
When the west by Greed's invaded and the bush begins to speakB
-
All ready for the struggle and waiting for the changeD
The army of our future lies encamped beyond the rangeD
Australia for her patriots will not have far to seekB
They'll know her yet in England when the bush begins to speakB
When the bush begins to speakB
When the bush begins to speakB
When the west by Greed's invaded and the bush begins to speakB
-
We'll find the peace and comfort that our fathers could not findA
Or some shall strike the good old blow that leaves a mark behindA
We'll find the Truth and Liberty our fathers came to seekB
Or let them know in England when the bush begins to speakB
When the bush begins to speakB
When the bush begins to speakB
When the west by Greed's invaded and the bush begins to speakB
