Australia 1894 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACACAC| SHE sits a queen whom none shall dare despoil | A |
| Her crown the sun her guard the vigilant sea | B |
| And round her throne are gathered stalwart free | B |
| A people proud yet stooping to the soil | A |
| Patient to swell her greatness with their toil | A |
| And swift to leave should dire occasion be | B |
| The mine the flock the desk the furrowed lea | B |
| And force the invader to a dark recoil | A |
| Yet as she gazes o er the plains that lie | A |
| Fruitful about her throne she sighs full sore | C |
| To see the barriers Greed has builded high | A |
| Dividing them who brothers were before | C |
| When still they dwelt beneath a sterner sky | A |
| And heard the thunders of a wilder shore | C |
