Let's look at the rhyme scheme in Poe's poem. Here are stanzas 1 and 2:

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of Annabel Lee;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea,

But we loved with a love that was more than love—

I and my Annabel Lee—

With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven

Coveted her and me.

What's the rhyme scheme in Stanza 1?

Multiple Choice

End rhyme describes

• which ends of lines rhyme.

Multiple Choice

What does the rhyme scheme reveal about the speaker in Annabel Lee?

• The end rhyme is simple, with most of the words rhyming with Annabel Lee. This suggests that the speaker is still very focused on her and that she is never far from his mind.

• The end rhyme is simple and involves rhyming words with Annabel Lee. This shows that the speaker is trying to recreate his childhood and relive his youth.

• The rhyme scheme is inconsistent. It reveals little about the speaker.

• The rhyme scheme mostly relies on internal rhyme. This suggests that the speaker has bottled up his grief and doesn't speak about how much he misses Annabel Lee.

Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley

3Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

4Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

5And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

6Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

7Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

8The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

9And on the pedestal, these words appear:

10My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
