Where Is The Slave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBACCDDC EE DDFFDGGHHG EE| Oh where's the slave so lowly | A |
| Condemn'd to chains unholy | A |
| Who could he burst | B |
| His bonds at first | B |
| Would pine beneath them slowly | A |
| What soul whose wrongs degrade it | C |
| Would wait till time decay'd it | C |
| When thus its wing | D |
| At once may spring | D |
| To the throne of Him who made it | C |
| - | |
| Farewell Erin farewell all | E |
| Who live to weep our fall | E |
| - | |
| Less dear the laurel growing | D |
| Alive untouch'd and blowing | D |
| Than that whose braid | F |
| Is pluckd to shade | F |
| The brows with victory glowing | D |
| We tread the land that bore us | G |
| Her green flag glitters o'er us | G |
| The friends we've tried | H |
| Are by our side | H |
| And the foe we hate before us | G |
| - | |
| Farewell Erin farewell all | E |
| Who live to weep our fall | E |
