Question

do these lines sound familiar?
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.\

those lines are from one of the most - famous american poems,
\the raven,\ by edgar allan poe. mr. poe was a brilliant, gifted, but
sadly miserable man, whose life was eventually wrecked by the
influences of alcohol and drugs. as a romantic writer, he was a
wonderful poet, master of the short story, and originator of the
modern detective story; yet drugs and drinking cut this brilliant
career short. one wonders how much greater would have been his
contributions, if instead of turning to alcohol, he had turned to christ
for the solution to his problems.

now read this first stanza of \the bells,\ also written by edgar allan poe.
hear the sledges with the bells,
silver bells!
what a world of merriment their melody foretells!
how they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
in the icy air of night!
while the stars, that oversprinkle
all the heavens, seem to twinkle
with a crystalline delight;
keeping time, time, time,
in a sort of runic rhyme,
to the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
from the bells, bells, bells, bells,
bells, bells, bells—
from the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

Explanation:

The problem involves analyzing Edgar Allan Poe's poems ("The Raven" and "The Bells") in terms of poetic structure (blank verse, internal rhyme, rhyme scheme) and mood. This falls under Literature (subfield of Arts), as it requires literary analysis of poetry.

For sub - question (1): Blank verse is unrhymed iambic pentameter. "The Raven" has rhyme (e.g., "weary" and "lore", "napping" and "tapping"), and "The Bells" also has rhyme. So neither is in blank verse.
For sub - question (2): Internal rhyme is rhyme within a line. In "The Raven", lines like "While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping" have internal rhyme (nodded, napping; came, tapping). "The Bells" also has internal rhyme (e.g., "tinkle, tinkle, tinkle" and "night", "twinkle" and "delight"). But "The Raven" is a more classic example often associated with internal rhyme analysis here.
For sub - question (3): "The Raven" has a rhyme scheme of ABCBBB (e.g., "dreary" (A), "weary" (B), "lore" (C), "napping" (B), "tapping" (B), "door" (B)). "The Bells" has a more complex, repetitive rhyme scheme with internal and end - rhymes, often characterized by a pattern like AABBC - C... with heavy repetition of "bells" - related rhymes.
For sub - question (4): "The Raven" has a mood of the fantastic/unusual (with the raven's visit, supernatural elements). "The Bells" appeals to emotions through its musical, rhythmic description of bells (joyful, then more intense), but "The Raven" also appeals to emotions (melancholy, mystery). However, "The Raven" is more associated with the fantastic mood.

Answer:

(1) No; Neither
(2) "The Raven" (and "The Bells" also has internal rhyme, but "The Raven" is a common answer here)
(3) "The Raven": ABCBBB (approximate, with variation); "The Bells": Complex, repetitive (e.g., AABBC - C... with heavy "bells" - related rhymes)
(4) Fantastic/unusual: "The Raven"; Appeals to emotions: "The Bells" (and "The Raven" also appeals to emotions)
