"The Lake of the Dismal Swamp" by Thomas Moore

What is the pattern of rhyme?

Answer 1

If you take a look at the poem, you will see that the lines 1, 3, and 4 rhyme, and lines 2 and 5 rhyme. The way to write this type of a rhyme is ABAAB. When it comes to the meter, the poem is written in iambs, which means that the first syllable is unstressed, whereas the second one is stressed, and so on. So, the correct answer is - The rhyme pattern is ABAAB, and the meter is iambic.

With the support of BMA Trustee Robert Garrett, the BMA joined the Musées Nationaux de France, Worcester Art Museum, and Princeton University during the 1930s excavations of Antioch. Three hundred mosaic pavements were discovered in the affluent suburb of Daphne and the nearby port city of Seleucia Pieria.

Today Antioch is known as Antakya, and is located in southeastern Turkey, near the border of Syria.
