Rhyme scheme of A thing of beauty is a joy for ever

Answer 1

Rhyme scheme of a poem or song is the type of sound at the end of each line of the poem or song. Rhyme scheme of a poem or song gives it a musical effect and appealing to read and hear.  

Let’s analyze the rhyme scheme in the poem ‘A Thing of A Beauty’.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever:  

Its lovliness increases; it will never  

Pass into nothingness; but still will keep  

A bower quiet for us, and a sleep  

Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

Let’s assume the ending sound in first line ‘ever’ is A;  the second line ending sound is also the same ‘ever’. Let’s assume the ending sound of the second line is ‘eep’; the third line also has the same sound. And so on.

So the rhyme scheme of  the poem is: AA BB, CC, DD.
