Freedom Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EAEA

I care not who were vicious back of meA
No shadow of their sins on me is shedB
My will is greater than heredityA
I am no worm to feed upon the deadB
-
-
My face my form my gestures and my voiceC
May be reflections from a race that wasD
But this I know and knowing it rejoiceC
I am Myself a part of the Great CauseD
-
-
I am a spirit Spirit would sufficeE
If rightly used to set a chained world freeA
Am I not stronger than a mortal viceE
That crawls the length of some ancestral treeA
