Have a look at the results below.
This verse, as some of you will quickly gather,
Reflects a son, a husband and a father
Who three-wise all exist in one together;
This entity, predestined thus to bear
The links ‘twixt hither and we know not whither,
Apparently is heir and aye bequeather;
Now (though it seems an awful lot of bother),
Does Woman too not call for us to clothe her
In queenly robes of daughter, wife and mother,
Her euphony felicitously smoother?

From a technical viewpoint, instead of five 'rhymes' following the order of vowel-sounds, there are five pairs of rhymes. The couplets are semi-rhymes with short followed by long vowel sounds. I am reminded of the chromatic scale in music, where both tones and semitones are played.
Please forgive the sleight of hand between lines 4 and 5.
