Question
From “The Chimney-Sweeper” by William Blake
When my mother died I was very young,
And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could scarcely cry “Weep! weep! weep! weep!”
4 So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep .
There’s little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head,
That curled like a lamb’s back, was shaved; so I said,
“Hush, Tom! never mind it, for, when your head’s bare,
You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.”
Which is an example of end rhyme from the poem?
bare/hair
said/bare
sleep/head
young/weep

What does it mean to rhyme? The sounds of the words have to match. Which of these pairs of words have similar sounds? Do "sleep" and "head" sound alike at all?
