Question 1 of 5 Review the following excerpt:
I see you shining like a jewel of night,
you, possibility maker, dream-world guide,
you, nighttime magician with one bright side;
queen of the ocean, where you rest your light,
please tell me why, like an ocean wave, my sight
turns toward you through the darkest sacrifice,
why you, fierce goddess, Diana, entice,
and why toward you my deepest dreams take flight.
- "Sonnet XV," Maximilian Voloshin

Explanation:

Maximilian Voloshin was a Ukranian-born Russian poet who lived from 1877 to 1932. Voloshin was an important figure of the Symbolist movement in Russia.

To find the rhyme scheme of a poem, we must look at the last word of each line.

The first last word will always be attributed the letter A. If another last word has the same final sound as that one, it will also be A. If it has a different final sound, it will be attributed the letter B. Every time a different final sound appears, it is given the next letter of the alphabet - C, D, etc.

With that in mind, let's take a look at the last words of each line in the passage:

night A

guide B

side B

light A

sight A

sacrifice C

entice C

flight A

See how the words "night, light, sight, and flight" all have exactly the same final sound? That is the reason why they are all A.

After analyzing each word, we can safely say the rhyme scheme is ABBA ACCA.
