Question

complete the rhyme scheme.
golden and red trees
nod to the soft breeze,
as it whispers, \winter is near\;
and the brown nuts fall
at the winds loud call,
for this is the fall of the year.
from ellen robena field, \a fall song\

Explanation:

To determine the rhyme scheme, we analyze the end - sounds of each line:

• Line 1: "Golden and red trees" ends with "trees" (let's assign it "A").
• Line 2: "Nod to the soft breeze" ends with "breeze", which rhymes with "trees", so it gets "A".
• Line 3: "As it whispers, 'Winter is near'" ends with "near" (assign "B").
• Line 4: "And the brown nuts fall" ends with "fall" (assign "C").
• Line 5: "At the wind's loud call" ends with "call", which rhymes with "fall", so it gets "C".
• Line 6: "For this is the Fall of the year" ends with "year", which rhymes with "near", so it gets "B".
