Enslaved Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEFEGG| Oh when I think of my long suffering race | A |
| For weary centuries despised oppressed | B |
| Enslaved and lynched denied a human place | A |
| In the great life line of the Christian West | B |
| And in the Black Land disinherited | B |
| Robbed in the ancient country of its birth | C |
| My heart grows sick with hate becomes as lead | B |
| For this my race that has no home on earth | C |
| Then from the dark depths of my soul I cry | D |
| To the avenging angel to consume | E |
| The white man's world of wonders utterly | F |
| Let it be swallowed up in earth's vast womb | E |
| Or upward roll as sacrificial smoke | G |
| To liberate my people from its yoke | G |
