This question is based on Literary Principles


''It is a beauteous evening, calm and free

The holy time is quiet as a Nun

Breathless with adoration; the broad sun

Is sinking down in its tranquility;

The gentleness of heaven broods O'er the sea:

Listen! the might Being is awake

And doth with his eternal motion make

A sound like thunder-everlasting'.


W. Wordsworth: It is a Beauteous Evening
The rhyme scheme of the stanza above is

  • A. cbba cdda

Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

The rhyme scheme is determined by analyzing the ending sounds of each line in the stanza. In this case, the pattern follows "abbc addc," where lines with similar ending sounds are assigned the same letter. This structure reflects the poetic style of Wordsworth in "It is a Beauteous Evening."
