My Country (tears For Africa) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGHIIJKLM| She woke me up in the middle of the night | A |
| She couldn't speak but not deaf and dumb | B |
| She wept and I felt her plight | A |
| Yes blood oozed from her thumb | B |
| She cried like a baby in my arms | C |
| Her skin was hot but calm | D |
| Her eyes shone in iced tears | E |
| Her lips uttered her despair in fear | F |
| She was rich but now deserted | G |
| Beautiful but now ugly and contorted | H |
| She said to me is this the end of our suffering | I |
| Oh poor she how she wept for her offspring | I |
| She kissed my forehead and let out a cry | J |
| A cry from the deepest trench of her heart | K |
| When will Africa my husband arise | L |
| Sat she fist clenched on my mat | M |
