Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCBDBDEFFEDD| When you arrive at Sydney sailing up | A |
| The harbour a small central isle you'll see | B |
| With two or three low huts but not a tree | B |
| Nor blade of grass upon't and on the top | C |
| A score of men in coarse habiliments | B |
| Hewing the rock away You may remember | D |
| Among the many evil traced events | B |
| Of a town life some robbery when December | D |
| Brought on the long dark nights a neighbour's boy | E |
| Tried for't and banished He perchance is one | F |
| Who yonder lift the pickaxe in the sun | F |
| To level Pinchgut Island If e'er joy | E |
| Gladden'd your heart on England's shore oh Never | D |
| Forget that Englishmen are banished here for ever | D |
