Flying Slave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDD EFEBCDD

The night is dark and keen the airA
And the Slave is flying to be freeB
His parting word is one short prayerA
O God but give me LibertyB
Farewell farewellC
Behind I leave the whips and chainsD
Before me spreads sweet Freedom's plainsD
-
One star shines in the heavens aboveE
That guides him on his lonely wayF
Star of the North how deep his loveE
For thee thou star of LibertyB
Farewell farewellC
Behind he leaves the whips and chainsD
Before him spreads sweet Freedom's plainsD
