Question

What is the poem’s rhyme scheme?

Answer 1

Answer:

AABB

Explanation:

The Rhyme is a stylistic resource widely used in poetic texts, especially in poetry, which provides sound, rhythm and musicality.

The Rhyme occurs in the verses, that is, in the lines of the poems, and designates the repetition of identical or similar sounds at the end of the words or poetic syllables. Thus, it is possible to find out what the rhyme scheme of the poem is.

Rhyme Scheme is a scheme that tells us how the rhyme is combined into a stanza. This way, one letter is placed on the first line of the stanza, that letter will repeat on lines that end with the same sound and another letter will be placed on the line that ends with another sound.

In the poem shown in the question we have the following rhyme scheme:

Instruments poised, chins high  - A

Not a blink, nor a sigh  - A

As every eye awaits her hand  -B

To cue the members of the band. -B

From this we can see that the rhyme scheme in the stanza is AABB. This means that the first line rhymes with the second line, but neither the first nor the second line rhymes with the rest of the stanza lines. Similarly, the third line does not rhyme with the second and first line, but rhymes with the fourth line. The fourth line, in turn, only rhymes with the third line.

Answer 2

It is usually referred to by using letters to indicate which lines rhyme; lines designated with the same letter all rhyme with each other. So it would be AA,BB
