The Coranna Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHHHII JJKKFast by his wild resounding River | A |
The listless Coran lingers ever | A |
Still drives his heifers forth to feed | B |
Soothed by the gorrah's humming reed | B |
A rover still unchecked will range | C |
As humour calls or seasons change | C |
His tent of mats and leathern gear | D |
All packed upon the patient steer | D |
'Mid all his wanderings hating toil | E |
He never tills the stubborn soil | E |
But on the milky dam relies | F |
And what spontaneous earth supplies | F |
Or should long parching droughts prevail | G |
And milk and bulbs and locusts fail | G |
He lays him down to sleep away | H |
In languid trance the weary day | H |
Oft as he feels gaunt hunger's stound | H |
Still tightening famine's girdle round | H |
Lulled by the sound of the Gareep | I |
Beneath the willows murmuring deep | I |
Till thunder clouds surcharged with rain | J |
Pour verdure o'er the panting plain | J |
And call the famished Dreamer from his trance | K |
To feast on milk and game and wake the moon light dance | K |
