how to identify a rhyming scheme of a poem please answer fast as tomorrow is my exam
Dear Student,
Given below is the answer to your question.
Read the poem carefully and note the rhyming words at the end of the line. The first rhymes that you see in the stanza should be marked as 'a'. The next word with rhymes with the same sound should also be marked as 'a'. If a different sound comes in, it should be marked 'b'.
Example - Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? a
Thou art more lovely and more temperate: b
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, a
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: c
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, d
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d; e
And every fair from fair sometime declines, d
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d; e
The rhyme scheme for the above text is abacdede
