The Camp Fires Of The Past Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEEEAEAGEEHIE| A thousand thousand camp fires every night | A |
| in ages gone would twinkle to the dark | B |
| from crest and valley in the rolling bush | C |
| from mulga scrub and mallee scrub from dunes | D |
| of Central sand from gaps in straggling ranges | E |
| from gibber plains and plains of iron wood | F |
| through leaves and in the open from the mangroves | E |
| by shore of Carpenteria from rocks | E |
| and beaches of the Bight for countless aeons | E |
| a thousand thousand camp fires burned each night | A |
| and by the fires the Old Men told their tales | E |
| which held their listeners spellbound Every night | A |
| among the fires men chanted to the beat | G |
| of stick and boomerangs and clap of hands | E |
| or drone and boom of didgeridoo the songs | E |
| rising and falling trailing quickening | H |
| while eyes gleamed bright through smoke drift bodies shone | I |
| and dusked in fitful glow amid the shadows | E |
