Question

POETRY HELP PLEASE

Mark the rhyme scheme for the first ten lines (unless the poem has fewer lines) behind it (allow for slant, or imperfect, rhymes), and then find examples of other musical effects (alliteration, consonance, assonance, onomatopoeia).

Write at least three individual lines that use the effects, type out the line with underlines under the letters that are repeated, and then tell what kind of musical effect is used.

Nothing Gold Can Stay (Robert Frost)

"Nature’s first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf’s a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay. "

I also have more if you can please help me I don't understand any of this please help <3 Thank you

Hello there!

Rhyme schemes are when two words rhyme in a poem. In the 8 lines you put the rhyme scheme is AABBCCDD, for the first 2 lines gold and hold rhyme,which makes up the AA part of the rhyme scheme, and the 3rd and 4th lines rhyme (flower and hour) which makes up the BB part of the rhyme scheme, leaf and grief rhyme, which makes up the CC part of the rhyme scheme, and day and stay rhyme, which makes up the DD part of the rhyme scheme, and so on so forth.
