To determine the rhyme - scheme, we label the end - sounds of each line. The end - sound of the first line is labeled 'a', the second line which has a different end - sound is 'b', the third line rhymes with the first so it's 'a' again, the fourth and fifth lines have the same end - sound as the third line so they are 'a', the sixth line has a different end - sound 'b', and the seventh line rhymes with the first, third, fourth, and fifth so it's 'a'.
