The Little Negro Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFG HHII| Ah the poor little blackamoor see there he goes | A |
| And the blood gushes out from his half frozen toes | A |
| And his legs are so thin you may see the very bones | B |
| As he goes shiver shiver on the sharp cutting stones | B |
| - | |
| He was once a negro boy and a merry boy was he | C |
| Playing outlandish plays by the tall palm tree | C |
| Or bathing in the river like a brisk water rat | D |
| And at night sleeping sound on a little bit of mat | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| But there came some wicked people and they stole him far away | E |
| And then good bye to palm tree tall and merry merry play | E |
| For they took him from his house and home and ev'ry body dear | F |
| And now poor little negro boy he's come a begging here | G |
| - | |
| - | |
| And fie upon the wicked folks who did this cruel thing | H |
| I wish some mighty nobleman would go and tell the king | H |
| For to steal him from his house and home must be a crying sin | I |
| Though he was a little negro boy and had a sooty skin | I |
