Identify the rhyme scheme of the stanza of the following poem.

From "Anabelle Lee" by Edgar Alan Poe

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling--my darling--my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Rhyme scheme is charted by assigning a letter to each new sound at the end of a line and repeating letters when a line rhymes with a previous line.

Even though it might seem very difficult, it's pretty interesting to determine the type of rhyme just by reading this words aloud :
.bean ...dean ...lean ...sheep ...keep. See? Each of the letters are standing for a lined rhyme, so we can easily find the answer. I am pretty sure that AAABB is what you need.
Regards!
