The Slave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| I saw him forging link by link his chain | A |
| Yet while he felt its length he thought him free | B |
| And sighed for those borne o'er the barren main | A |
| To bondage that to his would freedom be | B |
| Yet on he walked with eyes far gazing still | C |
| On wrongs that from his own dark bosom flowed | D |
| And while he thought to do his master's will | C |
| He but the more his disobedience showed | D |
| I heard a wild rose by the stony wall | E |
| Whose fragrance reached me in the passing gale | F |
| A lesson give it gave alike to all | E |
| And I repeat the moral of its tale | F |
| 'That from the spot where deep its dark roots grew | G |
| Bloomed forth the fragrant rose that all delight to view ' | H |
