The railway train

I like to see it lap the miles,
And lick the valley
and stop to feed itself at tanks
And then prodigious step
Around a pile of mountains
And supercilious peer
In shanties by the sides of roads
And then a quart pare
To fit it’s sides
and crawl between
Complaining all the while
In horrid hooting stanza
Then chase itself down hill
And neigh like Boanerges
Then punctual as a star
Stop docile and omnipotent
At its own stable door

Which do the following best describes the rhyme scheme of Emily Dickinson’s “the railway train”?
A. ABCB
B. ABCD
C. ABAB
D. ABCA
