Answer:

The pattern of rhyme in the poem “The Lake of the Dismal Swamp” would be ABAAB and the meter is dactylic hexameter

Step-by-step explanation:

The ending sounds of each verse reveal the rhyme and in this case the same rhyme pattern is followed through the poem. For example in the first stanza: damp (A), true (B), Swamp (A), lamp (A), and canoe (B). And this same structure continues.
