Harriet Beecher Stowe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| She told the story and the whole world wept | A |
| At wrongs and cruelties it had not known | B |
| But for this fearless woman's voice alone | B |
| She spoke to consciences that long had slept | A |
| Her message Freedom's clear reveille swept | A |
| From heedless hovel to complacent throne | B |
| Command and prophecy were in the tone | B |
| And from its sheath the sword of justice leapt | A |
| Around two peoples swelled a fiery wave | C |
| But both came forth transfigured from the flame | D |
| Blest be the hand that dared be strong to save | C |
| And blest be she who in our weakness came | D |
| Prophet and priestess At one stroke she gave | C |
| A race to freedom and herself to fame | D |
