The Raven poem and rhyme scheme?
Could someone please explain the rhyme scheme of "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe? For example, is it something like ABABAB? I'm specifically interested in the rhyme scheme of the last stanza. Your help would be greatly appreciated! đ

“And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted – nevermore!”
ABCBBB
EDIT: Looking at the entire poem, every stanza follows ABCBBB; if you’ve completed the others then you know this already.
