A. Given below is an excerpt from the poem ‘The Raven’ by Edgar Allan Poe. Underline the
internal rhymes in the verse.
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 someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
‘’Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, ‘tapping at my chamber door –
Only this and nothing more.’
B. Find other examples of internal rhyme in the poem ‘The Way Through the Woods’. Write
