Part B


If the poet wanted to add a rhyme scheme to the stanza, which of the following line pairs
could BEST fit while maintaining the reflective tone? (Select TWO Answer Choices)

Group of answer choices

No gale can hush its quiet tune, That echoes softly under moon.

Through storm or calm it still will sing, Its steady notes awakening.

It falters when the nigh grows deep, And fades into the hush of sleep.

Its feather droop, its song is done, No light remains beneath the sun.

Answer 1

Answers: 1 and 3.

- Line pair 1 ("No gale can hush its quiet tune, / That echoes softly under moon.") keeps a gentle, contemplative mood and offers a soft rhyme (tune/moon).
- Line pair 3 ("It falters when the nigh grows deep, / And fades into the hush of sleep.") uses a perfect rhyme (deep/sleep) and preserves the quiet, reflective tone.
