September 1, 1802 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDEC| WE had a female Passenger who came | A |
| From Calais with us spotless in array | B |
| A white robed Negro like a lady gay | B |
| Yet downcast as a woman fearing blame | A |
| Meek destitute as seemed of hope or aim | A |
| She sate from notice turning not away | B |
| But on all proffered intercourse did lay | B |
| A weight of languid speech or to the same | A |
| No sign of answer made by word or face | C |
| Yet still her eyes retained their tropic fire | D |
| That burning independent of the mind | E |
| Joined with the lustre of her rich attire | D |
| To mock the Outcast O ye Heavens be kind | E |
| And feel thou Earth for this afflicted Race | C |
William Wordsworth
