Outcast Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFAA| For the dim regions whence my fathers came | A |
| My spirit bondaged by the body longs | B |
| Words felt but never heard my lips would frame | A |
| My soul would sing forgotten jungle songs | B |
| I would go back to darkness and to peace | C |
| But the great western world holds me in fee | D |
| And I may never hope for full release | C |
| While to its alien gods I bend my knee | D |
| Something in me is lost forever lost | E |
| Some vital thing has gone out of my heart | F |
| And I must walk the way of life a ghost | G |
| Among the sons of earth a thing apart | F |
| For I was born far from my native clime | A |
| Under the white man's menace out of time | A |
