After Drafting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJFFFKFGF FLILFIMIDEHEENIN| NIGHT has fallen night and darkness | A |
| Night with star and planet splendid | B |
| And the earth lies like a giant | C |
| Wrapt in sleep with limbs extended | B |
| Rest has stolen on the homestead | D |
| On the long day's rush and riot | E |
| And no sound of horse or rider | F |
| Breaks the soft and dewy quiet | E |
| Yet like heart cries | G |
| After battle | H |
| Comes the calling ceaseless calling | I |
| Of the dun and dappled cattle | H |
| Sleep is sweet and sweet is silence | J |
| When the long day's work is over | F |
| For the toiler and the moiler | F |
| And the rider and the rover | F |
| Not a breeze abroad at night time | K |
| Sets the barley grass aquiver | F |
| And from dewfall on to sunrise | G |
| Sleeps the curlew by the river | F |
| Yet no slumber | F |
| Anguish smothers | L |
| Hark the calling plaintive calling | I |
| Of the robbed and stricken mothers | L |
| Oh how still are plain and river | F |
| How all sweet how all amazing | I |
| By the stars' march night is numbered | M |
| Rising setting zenith blazing | I |
| Peace has come upon the homestead | D |
| Passed the long day's rush and riot | E |
| Only from the drafted cattle | H |
| Comes a note of sad disquiet | E |
| Dun and dappled | E |
| Horned and poley | N |
| They are lowing lowly lowing | I |
| With a helpless melancholy | N |
