Which two words from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe are examples of internal rhyme? Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, "Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you"—here I opened wide the door:— Darkness there and nothing more. Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore?" This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore:" Merely this and nothing more.

The two words from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe that are examples of internal rhyme are “dreams” and “dream” from the excerpt above. “Dreams” is located in the middle while “dream” is at the end of the line.

Internal rhymes involve a word in the middle of a line and one more at either at the end of the line or in the middle of the next line.
