The Bushman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEDEFG| The Bushman sleeps within his black browed den | A |
| In the lone wilderness Around him lie | B |
| His wife and little ones unfearingly | B |
| For they are far away from 'Christian Men ' | C |
| No herds loud lowing call him down the glen | A |
| He fears no foe but famine and may try | B |
| To wear away the hot noon slumberingly | B |
| Then rise to search for roots and dance again | A |
| But he shall dance no more His secret lair | D |
| Surrounded echoes to the thundering gun | E |
| And the wild shriek of anguish and despair | D |
| He dies yet ere life's ebbing sands are run | E |
| Leaves to his sons a curse should they be friends | F |
| With the proud 'Christian Men' for they are fiends | G |
