End Rhyme

End rhyme is rhyme that comes at the end of two or more lines of poetry. The matching sound usually falls on the final stressed syllable, helping create pattern, emphasis, and musicality at the line breaks.

It is one of the most familiar kinds of rhyme and is often used to make a poem feel more regular, memorable, or songlike.

Example

The night grew still beneath the moon,
The cattails whispered a low tune.
Across the pond, the silver light
Spilled softly over fields at night.
