end rhyme, in poetry, a rhyme that occurs in the last syllables of verses, as in stanza one of Robert Frost’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”:

Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

End rhyme is the most common type of rhyme in English poetry. Compare beginning rhyme; internal rhyme.
