Question

complete the rhyme scheme.
a a a b
on his roof the red leaf falls,
at his door the bluejay calls,
and he hears the wood - mice hurry
up and down his rough log walls
from charles g. d. roberts, \the solitary woodsman\

Explanation:

In poetry, rhyme scheme is determined by the ending sounds of lines. The first line ends with "falls", the second with "calls". Since "falls" and "calls" rhyme (both have the -alls sound), they are assigned the same letter, A. The third line ends with "hurry" which doesn't rhyme with "falls" and "calls", so it gets a new letter. The fourth line ends with "walls" which rhymes with "falls" and "calls" ( -alls sound), so it is also A.

Answer:

A, A, B, A
