SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!

In this excerpt from “A Bird Song” by Christina Georgina Rossetti, which three lines contain internal rhyme?
[[a year almost that I have not seen her:]]
[[Oh, last summer green things were greener,]]
[[Brambles fewer, the blue sky bluer.]]
[[It's surely summer, for there's a swallow:]]
[[Come one swallow, his mate will follow,]]
[[The bird race quicken and wheel and thicken.]]

I believe the answer is:

for there's a swallow; Come one swallow, his mate will follow

Internal rhymes refers to a type of rhyme that occurs between other phrases across the lines (whcih is why it is often referred to as middle rhymes) . The word 'swallow' is rhymed with follow,and it's located between two lines with similar sounding 'llow' at the end.
