Match the lines from “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe with the type of rhyme used.

Tiles

"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness

I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and

so gently you came rapping,”

“On the morrow he will leave me, as

my hopes have flown before.” Then

the bird said, “Nevermore.”

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly

there came a tapping, As of some one

gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

Verified Answer :

"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness
I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and
so gently you came rapping,”
napping + rapping = internal rhyme

implore + before + nevermore = end rhyme

“On the morrow he will leave me, as
my hopes have flown before.” Then
the bird said, “Nevermore.”
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly

nodded + nearly + napping = alliteration

there came a tapping, As of some one
gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

tapping + rapping = internal rhyme

rapping + rapping = alliteration

FIRST TILE

"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness
I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and
so gently you came rapping,"

I underlined two words in the tile. Those two words represent a rhyme that is occurring a within the same line of the poem. This is a short definition of what an internal rhyme is. This proves…

Tile One → Internal Rhyme

SECOND TILE

"On the morrow he will leave me, as
my hopes have flown before." Then
the bird said, "Nevermore."

I underlined two words in the tile. Those two words are the last word of a line that rhymes with the last word of another line. This is a short definition of what an end rhyme is. This proves…

Tile Two → End Rhyme

THIRD TILE

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly
there came a tapping, As of some one
gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

I underlined four words in the tile. Those four words represent the lines have a repetition of the same or similar sounds at the beginning of words that are closely placed in lines. This is a short definition of what alliteration is. This proves…

Tile Three → Alliteration
