Question

Write the Rhyming word and Scheme of the 3rd stanza.

The pilgrim raised his old gray head,
“My friend in the path I’ve come,” he said, “There followeth after me today
A fair haired youth, who must pass this way. The chasm which held no fears for me
To the fair haired youth, may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim.
My friend, I am building this bridge for him.”
