The poet’s use of internal rhyme in the provided lines is best described by the response "rhyming morrow with borrow." Internal rhyme occurs when a word within a line rhymes with another word in the same line or nearby lines, and in this case, "morrow" and "borrow" serve this purpose.
"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—
