Near Rhyme

~It can be defined as a rhyme in which the stressed syllables of ending consonants match, however the preceding vowel sounds do not match.

Example...
~If love is like a bridge
or maybe like a grudge,
and time is like a river
that kills us with a shiver,
then what have all these mornings meant
but aging into love?
What now is straight must have been bent;
what now is whole must have been rent.
My hand is now your glove.
(To My Wife, by George Wolff)
