Read the excerpt from Robert Frost's "A Girl's Garden" and identify its rhyme scheme.
A neighbor of mine in the village
Likes to tell how one spring
When she was a girl on the farm, she did
A childlike thing.
One day she asked her father
To give her a garden plot
To plant and tend and reap herself,
And he said, "Why not?"
A neighbor of mine in the village
Likes to tell how one spring
When she was a girl on the farm, she did
A childlike thing.
One day she asked her father
To give her a garden plot
To plant and tend and reap herself,
And he said, "Why not?"

That's correct, of course; but I wish the original poster had had a chance to give it a try. Trying is one of the best learning tools there is!
