Question

Read the final stanza. Identify the rhyme scheme by using the drop-down menus to name it according to conventional poetic language.
Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

Answer 1

Answer:

The rhyme scheme is: ABCBDCFG

Explanation:

To discover the rhyme scheme in a stanza, you will need to name each line of the stanza with a letter (the letter is usually shown as uppercase). Lines that rhyme with each other have the same letter, lines that don't rhyme with each other receive different letters. Lines that rhyme with each other are finished with syllables that emit the same sound.

In the stanza shown above, we can see that most lines do not rhyme with each other, receiving different letters, with the exception of the second and fourth line that rhyme with each other and therefore receive the letter "B" and the third and sixth line, that rhyme between themselves, and for that reason they receive the letter "C".
