Answer: Sky-by

Shaking-breaking

Step-by-step explanation:

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;

And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,

And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking

—"Sea Fever,”

John Masefield

  • The word that is creating and end rhyme is by(sky-by) and therefore we are getting final sound with /ai/. We are also having there breaking and shaking because of the ing. This is referring to that there are two different sound that are producing the rhyme in this stanza.
