There are words like freedom Sweet and wonderful to say
On my heartstrings freedom sings
All day everyday

There are words like liberty
That almost make me cry
If you had known what I had know
You would know why

Explanation:

In the given poem from Langston Hughes "Refugee In America", the poet talks of the joys of being finally free. But then again, the second stanza reveals his depression in being unable to exercise that freedom, for liberty still remains in the hands of the white men.

The ABC pattern of a poem can be made by codding the end words of the line of poetry with the alphabets, ABC, and so on. Those with the same sound will be given the same letter, while the different one will be given the letter that comes next.

In this way, we can code the lines of the given poetry as follows-

There are words like freedom A

Sweet and wonderful to say B

On my heartstrings freedom sings C

All day everyday B

There are words like liberty D

That almost make me cry E

If you had known what I had know F

You would know why E

This means that the words "dom" in freedom is given the letter A, while "say" and "day" has the same sound. So, they will be labeled B. Likewise, the lettering will go on.

Thus, the rhyming scheme of the poem becomes ABCB DEFE.
