Answer:
To answer the second part of your question, "yes" a poem which does not make use of a rhyming scheme is called a free verse. This is defined in literature as poetry which is not bound by the limits of rhythm or rhyming schemes.
On the other hand there is the rhyming scheme which showcases how the ending lines of each verse in a poem has a pattern to it.
For example:
If the scheme is ABAB
then the 1st line of poem in a stanza will match the 3rd line in the rhyme.
" For years and years I waited so long A
Days and nights passed by in his wake B
I sighed as I wished the wait wouldn't prolong A
He couldn't see what was at stake. B
Answer:This poem does not have a rhyme scheme as the sentences do not end with like sounds. There is no pattern of similarity in the sounds of the ending words of any of the sentences, therefore the poem is written in free verse.
