What is the rhyme scheme pattern for this poem *(look at the ending words and which ones rhyme)
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends----
It gives a lovely light!

I think it is ABAB
The correct answer is AABB. The ending words that rhyme are "ends" and "friends". The second and fourth lines both end with a semicolon instead of a rhyme, which means that the poem follows an AABB rhyme scheme.
