Answer: The rhyme scheme in each stanza can be described as aabb xyzy. The first four lines are rhyming couplets, and then every other line rhymes in the second section. The opening couplets establish a happy mood, but the shorter part in the end brings out the disappointment experienced by the poet over the captain's death
