John Brown Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEADEA| Writ in between the lines of his life deed | A |
| We trace the sacred service of a heart | B |
| Answering the Divine command in every part | B |
| Bearing on human weal His love did feed | A |
| The loveless and his gentle hands did lead | C |
| The blind and lift the weak and balm the smart | B |
| Of other wounds than rankled at the dart | B |
| In his own breast that gloried thus to bleed | A |
| He served the lowliest first nay them alone | D |
| The most despised that e'er wreaked vain breath | E |
| In cries of suppliance in the reign whereat | A |
| Red Guilt sate squat upon her spattered throne | D |
| For these doomed there it was he went to death | E |
| God how the merest man loves one like that | A |
