Garrison Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACADEDCFEFGG| FREEDOM S first champion in our fettered land | A |
| Nor politician nor base citizen | B |
| Could gibbet thee nor silence nor withstand | A |
| Thy trenchant and emancipating pen | C |
| The patriot Lincoln snatched with steady hand | A |
| Writing his name and thine on parchment white | D |
| Midst war s resistless and ensanguined flood | E |
| Then held that proclamation high in sight | D |
| Before his fratricidal country men | C |
| Freedom henceforth throughout the land for all | F |
| And sealed the instrument with his own blood | E |
| Bowing his mighty strength for slavery s fall | F |
| Whilst thou stanch friend of largest liberty | G |
| Survived its ruin and our peace to see | G |
