Using rhymes for away

Away has the same rhymes as day, stay and say, plus longer ones such as delay and display. Because the stress falls on the second syllable, it rhymes naturally with one-syllable words, so “far away” can close a line that rhymes with “stay”. Near rhymes like again and became help when “ay” has been used too often.
