Question

Here is the first stanza of "Jack Frost".
The door was shut, as doors should be,
Before you went to bed last night;
Yet Jack Frost has got in, you see,
And left your window silver white.
On the lines below, describe the following about this stanza:
-the meter of the first verse using the words "syllables", "weak", and "strong”

Answer 1

We can say the following about the meter of the fist verse using the words "syllable", "weak", and "strong":

- The fist verse's meter is know as iambic tetrameter. That means it repeats a certain pattern four times.

The pattern, called an iamb, consists of an unstressed or weak syllable followed by a stressed or strong one.

• An iamb consists of one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one.

• When we repeat the patter of a iamb four times, we have an iambic tetrameter.

• That is what we have in the first verse of "Jack Frost." Let's highlight the stressed syllable in each line to better visualize the pattern:

The door was shut, as doors should be,

Before you went to bed last night;

Yet Jack Frost has got in, you see,

And left your window silver white.

• In conclusion, the verse of "Jack Frost" is written in iambic tetrameter.
