Poems On The Slave Trade - Sonnet Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBCADADEE| Why dost thou beat thy breast and rend thine hair | A |
| And to the deaf sea pour thy frantic cries | B |
| Before the gale the laden vessel flies | B |
| The Heavens all favoring smile the breeze is fair | A |
| Hark to the clamors of the exulting crew | C |
| Hark how their thunders mock the patient skies | B |
| Why dost thou shriek and strain thy red swoln eyes | B |
| As the white sail dim lessens from thy view | C |
| Go pine in want and anguish and despair | A |
| There is no mercy found in human kind | D |
| Go Widow to thy grave and rest thee there | A |
| But may the God of Justice bid the wind | D |
| Whelm that curst bark beneath the mountain wave | E |
| And bless with Liberty and Death the Slave | E |
