A Triplet, as in: Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day, Rage, Rage against the dying of the light. The poem is made up of 5 triplets (such as this, the first one in rhyme scheme aba) and a quatrain at the end (four-line stanza, rhyme scheme abab).

The rhyme scheme for "Some Keep the Sabbath Day" by Emily Dickinson is irregular and does not follow a specific pattern. Dickinson often experimented with rhyme and meter in her poetry, deviating from traditional structures.
The rhyme scheme of "Bang the Drum All Day" by Todd Rundgren is AABBCCDD. Each verse consists of four rhyming couplets.
In the first, second, fourth, and seventh stanzas the rhyme scheme is a, b, a, b. In the third, fifth, and sixth stanzas, the rhyme scheme is a, b, c, b; however, there is an internal rhyme into the third line: "he" and "tree" "dead" and "head" "day" and "Calay!"
The rhyming scheme for The Old Brown Horse by W.F. Holmes is ABCB. When the poem is divided into quatrains (four lines at a time), the last word in the second and fourth lines rhyme.
A rainy day is dull and gloomy. It rains all day long. The sky is overcast with thick clouds. The sky is not seen. None can go out without an umbrella. Water stand on roads and roads become muddy and slippery.
Just look at the last words of each line: day, temperate, May, date, shines, dimm'd, declines, untrimm'd, fade, owest, shade, growest, see, thee. Then check to see which words rhyme with each other: "day" rhymes with "May", so we say that both of those lines have rhyme "a"; "temperate" and "date" rhyme so we call these two lines rhyme "b". Therefore the rhyme scheme of the first four lines is abab. You can figure out the rest in about two seconds: it's a typical Shakespearean sonnet.
She is remembering her father and how every memorial day he would take her and her siblings to a grave yard and give them grape sherbet, and it wasn't until later that she is realizing that they were at a grave yard, and the reason that he was giving her the sherbet was to make her associate memorial day with positive feelings and not mourning.
