Question

what is the rhyme scheme in the first stanza of cullen’s poem \if you should go\? abba abab abbb

Explanation:

To determine the rhyme scheme of the first stanza of Countee Cullen's poem "If You Should Go", we analyze the end - rhymes of each line. The first stanza of the poem is: "If you should go, / Traveler, travel far, / And I should stay, / What would become of me?". Let's label the lines: Line 1 (If you should go) as A, Line 2 (Traveler, travel far) as B, Line 3 (And I should stay) as A (since it rhymes with Line 1), and Line 4 (What would become of me?) as B (since it rhymes with Line 2). So the rhyme scheme is ABAB.

Answer:

B. ABAB
