Comrades 0' Mine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJIJ KLKL| If I call will you hear me O comrades of mine | A |
| When the sky in the East holds the grey of the dawn | B |
| When the soft wind is stirring the plumes of the pine | A |
| And the shadow goes gliding beneath like a fawn | B |
| If I call will you hear me long ago friends | C |
| As you pass to the stockyard with bridle on arm | D |
| Where the song of the magpie to Heaven ascends | C |
| And the buddah bush blooms with its delicate charm | D |
| If I call will you hear me Heart calling to heart | E |
| Across the wide water across the long years | F |
| In the life that you live have I too not a part | E |
| Do I share not its laughter its hopes and its fears | F |
| If my saddle hangs idle if no more I bind | G |
| The spurs of adventure to gleam on the heel | H |
| Along Memory's paths may I stray not and find | G |
| The beat of bare hoofs and the jingle of steel | H |
| Where we rode shall I ride not Through scrubs where we raced | I |
| With the rein lying loose as some favourite flew | J |
| Through the ragged grey stems through the boughs interlaced | I |
| Have ye ridden one ride where I rode not with you | J |
| If I call will you hear Nay for Time will be king | K |
| And the wind on wide water bears voices away | L |
| The spurs as they glisten the hoofs where they ring | K |
| Are the servants of Youth at the dawn of the day | L |
