Read the excerpt from "If" by Rudyard Kipling. If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

Explanation:

We say words rhyme when their final sounds are the same. For example: feel - peel; cat - bat.

To find the rhyme scheme of a poem, we must attribute letters to the final word of each line. The first final word is always A. Any words that rhyme with it will also be A. The next word with a different final sound will be B. The words that sound like it will also be B. The next different one will be C, and so on.

With that in mind, let's look at each final word from the excerpt:

winnings A

toss B

beginnings A

loss B

sinew C

gone D

in you C

on D

The rhyme scheme is A B A B C D C D.
