To whoever uploaded the poem here: Wikisource would be much more appropriate. Snargle 02:56, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Meter

The article currently says that the poem is written in trochaic octameter. I don't scan it that way at all. I don't know what the term for this would be, but the rhythm strikes me as //X///X///X///X/ //X///X///X///X (using / for unstressed and X for stressed). That breaks up into 4 units of //X/ alternating with lines that leave off the last unstressed syllable. The meter is quite clear throughout. I will revise accordingly--if someone sees this and disagrees, please comment here.24.199.119.162 19:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
