Sonnet To Negro Soldiers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| They shall go down unto Life's Borderland | A |
| Walk unafraid within that Living Hell | B |
| Nor heed the driving rain of shot and shell | B |
| That 'round them falls but with uplifted hand | A |
| Be one with mighty hosts an arm d band | A |
| Against man's wrong to man for such full well | B |
| They know And from their trembling lips shall swell | B |
| A song of hope the world can understand | A |
| All this to them shall be a glorious sign | C |
| A glimmer of that resurrection morn | D |
| When age long Faith crowned with a grace benign | C |
| Shall rise and from their brows cast down the thorn | D |
| Of prejudice E'en though through blood it be | E |
| There breaks this day their dawn of Liberty | E |
