Question

complete the rhyme scheme.
what matter if i stand alone?
i wait with joy the coming years;
my heart shall reap when it has sown,
and gather up its fruit of tears.

Explanation:

In poetry, rhyme scheme is determined by the ending sounds of lines. The first line ends with "alone", the second with "years", the third with "sown", and the fourth with "tears". "Alone" and "sown" have a similar vowel sound (though not a perfect rhyme in strictest terms, in poetic analysis for basic rhyme scheme they can be grouped as they share a vowel - consonant pattern at the end relevant for the scheme). "Years" and "tears" rhyme perfectly. So we label lines with the same ending sound pattern with the same letter.

Answer:

A, B, A, B
