Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore
False. A poem can have internal rhyme (rhyme within a line) without necessarily following a structured rhyme scheme. Internal rhyme adds to the musicality and flow of a poem, but it is not a requirement for a specific rhyme scheme.
STANZARhymes within lines are simply called internal rhymes. Internal rhymes generally enrich the sonorities of the poem, and may emphasise comparison or contrast between the rhyming words of the internal rhyme. Internal rhyme might also be present to maintain the versification or structure of the poem; the line does not break after the internal rhyme because the whole line maintains the structure of the poem, or a certain number of syllables are needed in the whole line. Internal rhymes are generally considered to relax the rigidity of verse with strict metre and rhyme between lines.
"The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe features end rhyme, internal rhyme, slant rhyme, and a consistent rhyme scheme (ABCBBB). "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost contains end rhyme, internal rhyme, and a structured rhyme scheme (AABA). "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot utilizes slant rhyme, end rhyme, and internal rhyme throughout the poem, with varied rhyme schemes in each section.
Poe likely chose the rhyme scheme abcbbb to create a sense of unease and tension in "The Raven." The repetitive b sound in the sixth line of each stanza adds to the poem's haunting atmosphere and contributes to the overall sense of foreboding. The rhyme scheme also helps to maintain the poem's rhythm and pacing.
Some examples of feminine rhyme in the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe are: "dreary" and "weary" "token" and "spoken" "burden" and "word in" "betook" and "forsook"
One example of internal rhyme in "The Tell-Tale Heart" is in the line "I undid the lantern cautiously—oh, so cautiously—cautiously (for the hinges creaked)." The repetition of the word "cautiously" creates internal rhyme within the same line.
internal rhyming
One way the reader can tell that "The Raven" is an example of structured poetry is the consistent rhyme scheme and meter throughout the poem. The use of internal rhyme and repetition also contributes to the structured nature of the poem. Additionally, the poem's stanzas are of uniform length, adding to its formal structure.
By looking at the definition of two of the poem types, haiku and sonnet, we can quickly determine whether this poem meets the criteria or not.
There is NO slant rhyme used in "The Raven" by Poe. His rhyme scheme is abcbbb. Many of the answers attesting to the presence of slant rhyme are citing the first line and third line of each stanza as being slant rhyme, but that is NOT the case. To be thus, the rhyme scheme would be ababbb. Again, NO slant rhyme is present in "The Raven."
An internal rhyme occurs when the middle sound of two words rhymes, e.g., boat / goal (medial sound is /O/). An end rhyme occurs when the final sound of two words rhymes, e.g., boat, beat (final sound is /t/).
Yes, the poem uses a rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme of a poem is the pattern of rhyming words at the end of each line.
