Create a rhyme scheme for this passage: 

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, 

And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore - 

For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore - 

Nameless here for evermore.
