Question

complete the rhyme scheme.
let me make the songs for the people, a
songs for the old and young; b
songs to stir like a battle - cry
wherever they are sung.
from frances ellen watkins harper, \songs for the people\

Explanation:

1. Rhyme scheme is determined by the end - word rhymes. The end - word of the second line is "young" (rhyme scheme B), and "sung" rhymes with "young", so "Wherever they are sung" has rhyme scheme B.
2. The end - word of the first blank line's preceding non - A, non - B line: the first line has rhyme scheme A, the second B. The line "Songs to stir like a battle - cry" has an end - word "cry" which doesn't rhyme with "people" (A) or "young" (B), so it gets a new rhyme scheme letter, C.

Answer:

For the line "Songs to stir like a battle - cry", the rhyme scheme letter is C.
For the line "Wherever they are sung", the rhyme scheme letter is B.
