Excerpt: I know that I shall meet my fate Somewhere among the clouds above; Those that I fight I do not hate Those that I guard I do not love;

Answer:The rhyming words "fate" and "hate" connect the pilot's fate to his emotions.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an excerpt from "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" by Irish poet William Butler Yeats and those rhyming words are connecting the pilot's fate.

  • The rhyme pattern that we have here is ABAB; fate - hate

Also, in William Yeats artwork we have more rhyme patterns like this(ABAB) and that are the words from 2 and 4 lines. Those are above and love but the words from your question are ones that are referring to pilot's emotions.

His poem is written in 1918 and published in 1919 year.

Other rhyme schemes that we can find in his poem are CDCD, EFEF and GHGH with Iambic tetrameter.
