How does it sound to you? Do the rhymes help you notice those words more than the other words in the lines? Poets sometimes use internal rhymes to help readers see connections between the rhyming words. Because the rhymes still occur inside the lines not among words at the end of each line this is still considered an internal rhyme scheme. Look at lines 57 and 58: the internal rhyme of uttered, fluttered, and muttered spills over into two lines instead of one. But great poets like Poe like to bend (or even break!) the rules sometimes to create an even better effect. Internal, or middle, rhymes usually occur within the same line, like the words lonely and only in line 55. The Raven has two unique internal rhyme schemes one in the 1st line of each stanza, and a second in the 3rd and part of the 4th line of each stanza. The word internal means inside. So an internal rhyme scheme is a pattern of rhyming words inside the same line. (Take note of the line numbers to the right of the chart below.) There are two internal rhyme schemes used in The Raven. Let's look at stanza 10 of the poem to see what an internal rhyme scheme is and how Poe uses it to make the poem flow.
