Read the following excerpt from “Greece” by Oscar Wilde. The sea was sapphire [colored], and the sky
Burned like a heated opal through the air;
We hoisted sail; the wind was blowing fair
For the blue lands that to the eastward lie.

Which pattern describes the rhyme scheme of this stanza?

ABAB
AABB
ABBA
AAAB

ABBA

Explanation:

In a poem generally the last word of each line indicates the rhyming scheme. It is denoted be letters ABC etc. The first word of the first line is taken as A in a stanza and the last word of each line is compared with it. If the last word of the second line rhymes with the word in the first line then we write the rhyme scheme as AABB. Where B is the another word rhyming with the last word of the fourth line and so on.

Here sky (A) rhymes with lie (A) and air (B) rhymes with fair (B).

So, the rhyming scheme of this stanza is ABBA.
