Question: The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, help please!?
I just wanted to ask for everyone's answer!.

Does Poe have a rhyme scheme within his stanzas!? Does it vary or stay the same!?

Please and thank you ^^Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh i love that poem so the rhyme scheme goes like so,
there is more obviously but here is an example:

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, A
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore - B
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, C
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door!. B
Tis some visitor?, I muttered, tapping at my chamber door: B
Only this and nothing more!. B

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, D
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor, B
Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had sought to borrow E
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore - B
Nameless here for evermore!. B

And so on and so forth, for there it stays the same, with that "ore" sound being repeatedWww@QuestionHome@Com

It pretty much stays the same!.
There are many works,not by Poe that also rhyme oddly,but are still considered as rhyming!.!.!.so I would say it`s a legit rhymeWww@QuestionHome@Com

From what I remember I believe so!.!.!.

I notice that he has a "or-e" rhyme scheme (i!.e!. Eleanor, door, nevermore, etc!.)

It's a long poem but it's nice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
