what type of rhyme scheme does this poem use?:


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Do you know how to represent a rhyme scheme? Assign the letter "a" to the first rhyme, then "b" to the second rhyme, and so on. In the first stanza of this poem, the first line rhymes with the third and fourth lines, and the second line rhymes with the fifth, so the scheme is abaab. You can take it from there.
