To A Brown Boy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| That brown girl's swagger gives a twitch | A |
| To beauty like a Queen | B |
| Lad never damn your body's itch | A |
| When loveliness is seen | B |
| - | |
| For there is ample room for bliss | C |
| In pride in clean brown limbs | D |
| And lips know better how to kiss | C |
| Than how to raise white hymns | D |
| - | |
| And when your body's death gives birth | E |
| To soil for spring to crown | F |
| Men will not ask if that rare earth | E |
| Was white flesh once or brown | F |
