Answer 1

Answer: Lots of internal rhyme: (the more common term )

remember-December-ember

morrow-borrow-sorrow

thrilled me - filled me

beating-repeating-entreating

Explanation: From "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,

And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow

From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -

For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -

Nameless here for evermore.

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain

Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;

So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating`

'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door -

Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -

This it is, and nothing more,'

Poe is a master of this close, internal rhyme, I hope you get a chance to read the rest of this poem, and you may enjoy some of his others.
