Question

Match each excerpt from Emily Dickinson's "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" to the type of rhyme used.

Tiles
Or rather – He passed us –
The Dews drew quivering and chill –
For only Gossamer, my Gown –
My Tippet – only Tulle —
The Dews drew quivering and chill —
Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.

Answer 1

The excerpts have a rhyming scheme which is ABCB in which the second and fourth line rhymes. In the first stanza, the words me and Immortality rhymes. In fourth stanza, the words chill and Tulle are not perfect rhymes but can still be considered as rhyming.
