Australia's Vision Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDCECFGDGDHCHCIGI JKLKMNONCBDB| ALL still and high above the sun | A |
| In cloudless golden reign | B |
| A mirage in the quivering west | C |
| A horseman on the plain | B |
| Silent with hand above his eyes | D |
| With thoughts undreamed unguessed | C |
| Like some bronze shape immovable | E |
| He gazes down the west | C |
| High overhead an eagle soars | F |
| On proud wide spreading wings | G |
| Crouching they watch with stricken eyes | D |
| The furred and feathered things | G |
| No song no sound but arching skies | D |
| With not a cloud to mar | H |
| O horseman gazing down the west | C |
| What seest thou afar | H |
| Is you a mirage dream indeed | C |
| Heat born shape thronged sublime | I |
| Or but a mirror of the things | G |
| That thou shalt know in time | I |
| What comes and goes in yonder haze | J |
| What moving things are these | K |
| Are they the masts of battleships | L |
| Or are they phantom trees | K |
| Speak thou whose eyes are eagle keen | M |
| Nor dimmed with old regrets | N |
| Are yonder shapes but spectral reeds | O |
| Or are they bayonets | N |
| Look well into the Vision's heart | C |
| O horseman on the plain | B |
| Trust nought except thine own true eyes | D |
| For thine the loss or gain | B |
