Internal Rhyme
I BRING fresh showers for the thirsting flowers,
From the seas and the streams;
I bear light shade for the leaves when laid
In their noonday dreams.
From my wings are shaken the dews that waken
The sweet buds every one,
When rocked to rest on their mother’s breast,
As she dances about the sun.
I wield the flail of the lashing hail,
And whiten the green plains under,
And then again I dissolve it in rain,
And laugh as I pass in thunder.
In poetry, internal rhyme, or middle rhyme, is rhyme which occurs within a single line of verse.
Examples:
the grains beyond age, the dark veins of her mother
I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary.
