Answer: I believe the answer is A rhyme

Explanation: read down bellow and see if it rymes

Down by the Salley gardens my love and I did meet;

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;

But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

In a field by the river, my love and I did stand,

And on my leaning shoulder, she laid her snow-white hand.

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;

But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.
