"ababcdcde" is a pattern used in poetry to describe the rhyme scheme of a stanza. It means that in a set of lines, lines 1 and 2 rhyme, lines 3 and 4 rhyme, lines 5 and 6 rhyme, and lines 7 and 8 rhyme, with each letter representing a unique end rhyme.

Do odes have rhyme schemes?

An ode will normally have a rimescheme. The essence of an ode is that the poet invents a new stanzaform, and then repeats it as many times as he needs to finish the poem. The stanzaform will usually have a mixture of long and short lines, and a fairly intricate rimescheme to hold the whole thing together. Most odes imitate the Greek odes of Pindar to some extent (Pindar is largely responsible for the idea that an ode stanza needs to mix long lines with very short ones). The ode was especially fashionable during the second wave of English Romanticism - particularly with Shelley and Keats. A famous example of an ode without a rimescheme is William Collins' Ode to Evening' - but that poem is an exception, rather than the rule.
