Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.

Answer: aa bb cc dd

Explanation:

To identify the rhyme scheme, we look to see the lines where the last word of the lines rhymes. If we label the first line 'a', then all lines that end with the same rhyme as the first would also be 'a'. We then do this for all the lines.
