Question

1. write the rhyme scheme for the following four lines from emily brontë’s poem “stars”:

i was at peace, and drank your beams
as they were life to me;
and revelled in my changeful dreams,
like petrel on the sea.
emily brontë, “stars”

Explanation:

1. Assign "A" to the end sound of line 1 ("beams").
2. Assign "B" to the end sound of line 2 ("me").
3. Line 3's end sound ("dreams") matches line 1, so it gets "A".
4. Line 4's end sound ("sea") matches line 2, so it gets "B".

This results in the rhyme scheme ABCB.

Answer:

ABCB
