Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine the rhyme scheme, we look at the end - sounds of each line.

  • The first line ends with "dears".
  • The second line ends with "time".
  • The third line ends with "cheers". "Dears" and "cheers" have a similar vowel sound (the "ear" sound in "dears" and the "eer" sound in "cheers" are close enough for a rhyme in a simple rhyme - scheme analysis).
  • The fourth line ends with "climb".
  • The fifth line ends with "spears". "Time" and "climb" have a similar vowel sound (the long "i" sound), and "dears" and "cheers" have a similar vowel sound.
