The rhyme scheme of a poem denotes a letter-based way to represent rhyming in a line of verse. For example, in Three Men of Gotham:
Know ye not the waves that roll?
No; for in charmed bowl we swim.
What the charm that floats the bowl?
Water may not pass the brim.
The 1st and 3rd verses rhyme(roll, bowl) and the 2nd and 4th do as well(swim, brim). So we can say that the rhyme scheme is AbAb.
