Question

poetic elements quick check
\the raven\
by edgar allen poe
ah, distinctly i remember it was in the bleak december;
and each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
eagerly i wished the morrow;—vainly i had sought to
borrow
from my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost
lenore—
for the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name lenore
—
nameless here for evermore.
use the lines below to answer the question.
which of the following describes the poet’s use of internal
rhyme?
(1 point)
○ rhyming morrow with borrow
○ rhyming floor with lenore
○ rhyming separate and sorrow
○ rhyming radiant and maiden

Explanation:

Internal rhyme occurs within a single line of poetry. In the line "Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow", "morrow" and "borrow" rhyme and are within the same line, fitting the definition of internal rhyme. The other options either involve end rhymes (floor/Lenore) or non-rhyming pairs (separate/sorrow, radiant/maiden).

Answer:

rhyming morrow with borrow
