    I chose to use the poem “Hamlen Brook” by Richard Wilbur. The first thing I noticed about the poem was the stanzas. Each stanza had the same amount of lines‚ four. Next was the fact that the first and fourth lines rhymed in every stanza. For example‚ brink; drink and trout; out. Also the second and third line rhymed in every single stanza‚ jet; sweat‚ weaves; leaves. The rhythmic pattern was very evident and very hard to ignore. I also noted that the third line in each stanza was the longest

Slightly later‚ in the opening stanza‚ we are told about how the shepherd ’stole away’ her ’liberty when my poor heart was strange to men’‚ and she clarifies this again on the next line‚ once again by saying ’He
