There Is A Bondage Worse, Far Worse, To Bear Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEDE| THERE is a bondage worse far worse to bear | A |
| Than his who breathes by roof and floor and wall | B |
| Pent in a Tyrant's solitary Thrall | B |
| 'Tis his who walks about in the open air | A |
| One of a Nation who henceforth must wear | A |
| Their fetters in their souls For who could be | C |
| Who even the best in such condition free | C |
| From self reproach reproach that he must share | A |
| With Human nature Never be it ours | D |
| To see the sun how brightly it will shine | E |
| And know that noble feelings manly powers | D |
| Instead of gathering strength must droop and pine | E |
| And earth with all her pleasant fruits and flowers | D |
| Fade and participate in man's decline | E |
