What is the rhyme scheme of "a farewell" by charles kingsley?
my fairest child, i have no song to give you;
no lark could pipe to skies so dull and gray;
yet, ere we part, one lesson i can leave you
for every day.
be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever;
do noble things, not dream them all day long:
and so make life, death, and that vast forever
one grand, sweet song.
a. abab, dcbc
b. abab, cdcd
c. abcb, cbcb
d. abbc, bcca

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Rhyme scheme refers to the pattern of rhymes at the ends of the lines of a poem or verse.

The rhyme scheme in "A Farewell" by Charles Kingsley is abab cdcd because, in the first stanza, the last words of the first and third line rhyme with each other, and the second and fourth lines create another rhyme, creating an abab pattern.

The same occurs in the second stanza, but the rhyming words are different than those of the first stanza, thus creating a cdcd pattern.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
