High In The Air Exposed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFFEGHHGII| High in the air exposed the slave is hung | A |
| To all the birds of heaven their living food | B |
| He groans not though awaked by that fierce sun | C |
| New torturers live to drink their parent blood | D |
| He groans not though the gorging vulture tear | E |
| The quivering fiber Hither look O ye | F |
| Who tore this man from peace and liberty | F |
| Look hither ye who weigh with politic care | E |
| The gain against the guilt Beyond the grave | G |
| There is another world bear ye in mind | H |
| Ere your decree proclaims to all mankind | H |
| The gain is worth the guilt that there the Slave | G |
| Before the Eternal thunder tongued shall plead | I |
| Against the deep damnation of your deed | I |
