In Bondage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHH| I would be wandering in distant fields | A |
| Where man and bird and beast lives leisurely | B |
| And the old earth is kind and ever yields | A |
| Her goodly gifts to all her children free | B |
| Where life is fairer lighter less demanding | C |
| And boys and girls have time and space for play | D |
| Before they come to years of understanding | C |
| Somewhere I would be singing far away | D |
| For life is greater than the thousand wars | E |
| Men wage for it in their insatiate lust | F |
| And will remain like the eternal stars | G |
| When all that shines to day is drift and dust | F |
| But I am bound with you in your mean graves | H |
| O black men simple slaves of ruthless slaves | H |
