"The Raven"

Question

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—

The correct response is:

rhyming morrow with borrow

This is an example of internal rhyme, where two words within the same line or in closely placed lines rhyme with each other. In this case, "morrow" and "borrow" create that effect.
