What rhyme scheme appears in the first stanza?
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore —
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“ ’Tis some visiter,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door —
Only this and nothing more.”

What is the effect of Poe ending each stanza with a shorter sixth line?
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore —
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“ ’Tis some visiter,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door —
Only this and nothing more.”
He repeats the last line other times throughout the poem to create a sense of lunacy. The narrator keeps repeating themselves.
The effect of the shorter line is that it stands out. It's clearly different from the other lines, so its content stands out and you pay extra attention.
It's interesting.
