Question

read this excerpt from the song of wandering aengus by william butler yeats. and when white moths were on the wing, and moth - like stars were flickering out, i dropped the berry in a stream and caught a little silver trout. which pattern describes the rhyme scheme of this stanza? xaxa xxaa xaxb xaax

Explanation:

Rhyme scheme is identified by assigning the same letter to lines that rhyme. "wing" and "stream" don't rhyme (assigned as different letters, say X). "out" and "trout" rhyme (assigned as A). So the scheme is XAXA.

Answer:

A. XAXA
