Final answer:
An example verse with an ABCA ABBA rhyme scheme is provided, showing how the end rhymes of the first stanza connect with those of the second stanza, creating an envelope rhyme scheme.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is seeking a verse with an ABCA ABBA rhyme scheme. An example of such a verse could be:
Silent whispers in the night sky (A)
The stars converse, and I eavesdrop (B)
Lost in thought, I let out a sigh (C)
As the nocturnal dance, they do not stop (A)
Bright beams on the water's surface play (A)
And gently stir the waves into ballet (B)
A symphony of light, in splendid array (B)
All troubles, in this moment, I hold at bay (A)
The verse shows the rhyme scheme clearly by having the end rhymes of lines 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 represented by 'A', and lines 2 and 6 by 'B'. It also demonstrates the interlocking rhymes in two quatrains as the end rhymes of the first, third, and fourth lines fuse with the end rhyme of the fifth line, making the transition from one stanza to the next known as the envelope rhyme scheme.
