In poetry, internal rhyme is called “middle rhyme” since the rhymes happen within the phrase, rather than just at the end.</p> <h2>What is an Internal Rhyme?</h2> <p>An internal rhyme is a device used in metered writing such as poetry in which the rhyming takes place within a line or phrase, rather than just at the end of each line. With internal rhyme, a single rhyme can occur multiple times within one line, or it can be spread out through several lines. Internal rhyme can be found in any type of poetry, regardless of its meter or rhyme scheme.</p> <p>There are three key ways in which internal rhyme occurs:</p> <ul> <li>Within the same line – The rhyme occurs several times but only within the same line <ul> <li><strong>Edgar Allan Poe’s</strong> poem <strong>“The Raven”</strong> is full of internal rhyme. For example, “Ah, distinctly I <em>remember</em> it was in the bleak <em>December</em>”</li> </ul> </li> <li>Separate line – Rhymes over the span of multiple lines that are found in the middle of each line <ul> <li>Again, from “The Raven,” – “As of some one gently <em>rapping, rapping</em> at my chamber door./ “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “<em>tapping</em> at my chamber door—”</li> </ul> </li> <li>Middle and end of a line – The rhyming words are found both in the middle of a line and at the end of a line. <ul> <li>Again, from “<strong>The Raven,”</strong> – “While I nodded, nearly <em>napping</em>, suddenly there came a <em>tapping</em>/As of someone gently <em>rapping, rapping</em> at my chamber door.”<strong><br /> </strong></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2>Modern Examples of Internal Rhyme</h2> <p>Internal rhyme can be found in song lyrics often. Here are a few popular examples:</p> <p><strong>“Hey Jude” by The Beatles </strong>uses the type of internal rhyme in which middle words and end words are rhymed:</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">Hey Jude, don’t make it <em>bad</em><br /> Take a <em>sad</em> song and make it better<br /> Remember to let her into your <em>heart<br /> </em>Then you can <em>start </em>to make it better</p> <p>Hey Jude, don’t be <em>afraid</em><br /> You were <em>made</em> to go out and get her<br /> The minute you let her under your <em>skin<br /> </em>Then you <em>begin</em> to make it better</p> <p>The traditional American folk ballad <strong>“Oh My Darling, Clementine” </strong>provides another example.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">Near a cavern, across from a canyon,<br /> Excavating for a mine,<br /> Lived a <strong><em>miner</em></strong><strong><em>, forty-niner</em></strong><br /> And his daughter Clementine</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">How I missed her, how I missed her, how I missed my Clementine!<br /> Til’ I <strong><em>kissed her</em></strong><strong><em> little sister</em></strong>, and forgot my Clementine.</p> <p>Finally, modern poet <strong>Gwendolyn Brooks </strong>uses internal rhyme in her famous poem <strong>“We Real Cool”</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">THE POOL PLAYERS.<br /> SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">We real <em>cool</em>. We<br /> Left <em>school</em>. We</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">Lurk <em>late</em>. We<br /> Strike <em>straight.</em> We</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">Sing <em>sin</em>. We<br /> Thin <em>gin</em>. We</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">Jazz <em>June</em>. We<br /> Die <em>soon.</em></p> <h2>The Function of Internal Rhyme</h2> <p>The main function of internal rhyme is to create rhythm in lines of verse. This rhythm, in turn, creates a musical effect which is why internal rhyme is so common in lyrics of songs. Essentially, devices like internal rhyme help to make language have a more beautiful effect than it would otherwise.</p> <p>Additionally, internal rhyme can be used to emphasize a poem’s key ideas. Even though a concept may span lines and not fit in with traditional rhyming structures, adding a rhyming element that applies to key words regardless of where they are found in a line will bring the reader’s attention to that idea. Rhyming helps to make the idea more emphatic because it is more easily remembered and noticed that way.</p> <h2>Examples of Internal Rhyme in Literature<strong><br /> </strong></h2> <p>Internal rhyme is found in various pieces of classic literature. Here are a few examples,</p> <p><strong>William Shakespeare’s <em>Macbeth</em></strong> uses internal rhyme in one of its most famous lines from The Witches. This use of internal rhyme helps to set the mood of the scene, which is eerie and full of malicious intent:</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">Double, double toil and trouble,</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">Fire burn and cauldron bubble…</p> <p>In <strong><em>The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner </em>by Samuel Taylor Coleridge</strong>, internal rhyme helps to create a lyrical, musical effect that gives emphasis to the deeper meaning of the poem. For example, notice how the last line of the following excerpt stands out more since it doesn’t use the same kind of internal rhyme, and consider what that does to how you notice those words:</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">The ship was <em>cheer’d</em>, the harbor<em> clear’d</em>,</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">And every <em>day</em>, for food or <em>play</em>,</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">In mist of <em>cloud</em>, on mast or <em>shroud</em>…</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">Whiles all the <em>night, </em>through fog-smoke <em>white</em>,</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">Glimmer’d the <em>white</em> moonshine.</p> <p><strong>“Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe</strong> uses internal rhyme to help enhance the mood of the poem, which is a gloomy dreamy effect:</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">For the moon never <em>beams</em> without bringing me <em>dreams</em></p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">And the stars never <em>rise</em> but I feel the bright <em>eyes</em></p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">And so, all the <em>night-tide</em>, I lie down by the <em>side</em></p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;">Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride.”</p> <h2>Recap: What is Internal Rhyme in Literature? <strong><br /> </strong></h2> <p>Internal rhyme is a device used in verse that uses rhyming in the middle of lines or phrases instead of solely at the end.
