Determine the rhyme scheme of the following poem.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: The rhyme scheme of the poem is, ABAB, CDCD, EFEF.

Explanation:

Rhyme schemes are the patterns of a line that are designed in such a way that they rhyme with each other. For example, the words game and same are rhyming words. In ‘Sonnet 5’ William Shakespeare have used ABAB, CDCD, EFEF rhyme scheme.

The first line of the poem ends with ‘frame’ (A). The second line end with the word ‘dwell’ (B). The third line end with ‘same’ (A), while the fourth line ends with ‘excel’ (B). Thus making it ABAB rhyme.

Similarly, the other lines (on-gone, there-where) make the CDCD rhyme scheme and so on.
