Answer 1

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

this is what i am going off of

Answer 2

To determine the rhyme scheme, we need to look at the pattern of end sounds for each stanza.

- **abaaba** means that the first lines share the same ending sound (a), the second pair shares a different sound (b), and the third lines revert back to the first sound (a) and repeat.

- **abbabb** has a similar idea, where the first line is unique (a), the second and third lines share a sound (b), and it alternates back to the first line's sound (a).

- **abccba** indicates that the first line is unique (a), the second and third lines are different (b and c), and then it returns to the first sound (a).

- **abcabc** represents a pattern where each line has a different ending sound that repeats in the second half of the stanza.

Without the actual text of the stanzas, we can reason about the rhyme schemes but cannot determine which one corresponds to the stanzas you are referring to.

If you provide the content or specify the supposed rhyme scheme from the options, I could help identify which one is correct.

Answer 3

Thank you for providing the stanzas! Let's analyze the rhyme scheme based on the lines you provided.

1. **Lines:**
- Do not go gentle into that good night, (A)
- Old age should burn and rave at close of day; (B)
- Rage, rage against the dying of the light. (A)

2. **Lines:**
- Though wise men at their end know dark is right, (A)
- Because their words had forked no lightning they (B)
- Do not go gentle into that good night. (A)

Now, let's map out the rhyme:

- The first stanza has the rhyme scheme **ABA** (night - day - light).
- The second stanza also has the rhyme scheme **ABA** (right - they - night).

Combining these two stanzas, we get:

- **ABA** (first stanza)
- **ABA** (second stanza)

Therefore, the overall rhyme scheme for both stanzas is **abaaba**.

The correct response to your question is:

**abaaba**
