Question

Rhyme scheme of the poem the sun rise on the hills

Answer 1

Form. The three regular stanzas of “The Sun Rising” are each ten lines long and follow a line-stress pattern of 4255445555—lines one, five, and six are metered in iambic tetrameter, line two is in dimeter, and lines three, four, and seven through ten are in pentameter. The rhyme scheme in each stanza is ABBACDCDEE.

Answer 2

Answer:

All thirty-six lines of 'Sunrise on the Hills' form rhyming couplets in the simple rhyme scheme- AABB and so on. 20th century criticism teaches us to value poems for their complexity and that is why a poet like Longfellow has since his day fallen out of favour.
