Question

Find the rhyme scheme of the poem.

Answer 1

Rhyme scheme in a poem is the pattern of rhyme formed in between the lines. It can also be explained as the pattern of end rhymes or lines. A rhyme scheme gives the scheme of the rhyme; a regular pattern of rhyming words in a poem (the end words). It is usually referred to by using letters to indicate which lines rhyme.

The rhyme scheme of the poem ‘The Road Not Taken’ by Robert Frost is a, b, a, a, b.

For instance,

I shall be telling this with a sigh	a
Somewhere ages and ages hence:	b
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-	a
I took the one less travelled by,	a
And that has made all the difference.	b
