The Scarlet Cloak Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACADADEFEFDGDGEFEF| ONE may go a many leagues a questing yon and hither | A |
| One may look on queens and kings and think the vision bliss | B |
| But he who has the wholesome heart as lightsome as a feather | A |
| Can find a joy in everything no matter what it is | C |
| Golden Miles to Burrawang when the morn was tender | A |
| How your memory rises up how it haunts and smiles | D |
| Back again and back it comes all the early splendour | A |
| All your length made beautiful O you Golden Miles | D |
| You that wore the scarlet cloak in the pearly morning | E |
| When the sun came up the East and through the heavens strode | F |
| Like a prince of great account cloud and mist wreath scorning | E |
| What was in the heart of you waiting by the road | F |
| Birds of all the bush around were at their greeting matins | D |
| Some with little twitterings and some with loud acclaim | G |
| Cloth of gold is fine wear and fine are silks and satins | D |
| Finer was the scarlet cloak that wrapped you like a flame | G |
| You that wore the scarlet cloak in the early morning | E |
| When the leaves were dancing all and the dewdrops glowed | F |
| Like a flower a flower of flowers the dewy way adorning | E |
| Love was in the heart of you waiting by the road | F |
