Identify the rhyme scheme in this excerpt from a William Blake poem.

Piping down the valleys wild,

Piping songs of pleasant glee,

On a cloud I saw a child,

And he laughing said to me:

"Pipe a song about a Lamb!"

So I piped with merry cheer.

"Piper, pipe that song again; "

So I piped: he wept to hear.
