Words that rhyme withthee

masculine
Masculine this word

Ends on a stressed syllable — a one-syllable rhyme, or a multisyllable word whose primary stress lands last. The rhyme hits the final beat, the way most rhymes in songs do.

Examples

love · dove · today · believe · forgot

Feminine

Ends with an unstressed syllable trailing the stressed one — always at least two syllables. The rhyme lands a beat earlier and trails off softly.

Examples

river · mother · follow · breaking · mountain

Masculine and feminine endings rarely sing together (the rhyme lands on a different beat), so they're kept apart here.

“thee” at line end — from real songs

I have torn everyone who reached out for meI will make it all up to thee
— Leonard Cohen, “Bird on the Wire” · rhymes thee / me
Take me in your arms and seeA donkey, a beast for thee
— Bonnie Prince Billy, “Beast for Thee” · rhymes thee / see
All eyes move to theeAll eyes aren’t born free
— Cass McCombs, “Brighter!” · rhymes thee / free

How to read the 1849 results

Tiers follow Pat Pattison's stability scale — pick the resolution your line needs, not just the closest sound. Bold words are common in lyrics; a struck-through word with a cliché flag is an overworked pair; a vermilion dot counts how often the pair appears at line end in our corpus of real songs.

Perfect rhyme 121
Same stressed vowel, same sounds after it, different beginning. Full resolution — the strongest closure a rhyme can give a line.
Additive 1692
Same vowel, but one word carries an extra consonant after the shared ending. The added sound softens the landing slightly.
Assonance 36
Only the stressed vowel matches; the consonants after it are unrelated. Loose and open — useful when a section should stay unresolved.
