Africa Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEDFF| A thousand years of darkness in her face | A |
| She turns at last from out the centurys' blight | B |
| Of labored moan and dull oppression's might | B |
| To slowly mount the rugged path and trace | A |
| Her measured step unto her ancient place | A |
| And upward ever upward towards the light | B |
| She strains seeing afar the day when right | B |
| Shall rule the world and justice leaven the race | A |
| - | |
| Now bare her swarthy arm and firm her sword | C |
| She stands where Universal Freedom bleeds | D |
| And slays in holy wrath to save the word | E |
| Of nations and their puny boasting creeds | D |
| Sear with the truth O God each doubting heart | F |
| Of mankind's need and Afric's gloried part | F |
