Question

Which words from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe are examples of internal rhyme?

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you"—here I opened wide the door:—
Darkness there and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore?"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore:"
Merely this and nothing more.

Answer 1

Internal rhyme: The rhyming of two words, one in the middle of a line and the other at the end of the line or in the middle of the next line.

There are multiple examples of internal rhymes in "The Raven", but I believe the answer you are looking for is "peering" and "fearing". That is, if you are on Plato and your question was "Which two words from 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe are examples of internal rhyme?"
