To America Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD

How would you have us as we areA
Or sinking 'neath the load we bearB
Our eyes fixed forward on a starA
Or gazing empty at despairB
-
Rising or falling Men or thingsC
With dragging pace or footsteps fleetD
Strong willing sinews in your wingsC
Or tightening chains about your feetD

James Weldon Johnson
