Explanation

The expression 'Through the trees I'll hear a single ringing sound, a cowbell jingle' illustrates internal rhyme through the underlined words. This is not an example of end rhyme or eye rhyme. A feminine rhyme is a rhyme scheme in which the lines containing rhyming words end in unstressed syllables. Masculine rhyme on the other hand is a rhyme on stressed syllables.
