MeterExample of Trochaic Substitution: Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Example of Alexandrine: To a Skylark by Percy Bysshe Shelley
And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest.
Example of Feminine Ending: A Daughter of Eve by Christina Rosetti
A fool I was to sleep at noon,
And wake when night is chilly
Beneath the comfortless cold moon;
A fool to pluck my rose too soon,
A fool to snap my lily
Rhyme
An example of Eye rhyme: The Land of Nod by Robert Luis Stevenson
All by myself I have to go,
With none to tell me what to do --
All alone beside the streams
And up the mountain-sides of dreams.
An example of Assonance: In a Garden by Amy Lowell
In this poem, the lines don’t end with a rhyme but many of the lines feature repeating vowel sounds that
serve to thread together a melodic rhythm.
“In granite-lipped basins,
Where iris dabble their feet”
“The water fills the garden with its rushing,
In the midst of the quiet of close-clipped lawns.”
“With its leaping, and deep, cool murmur.”
“White and shining in the silver-flecked water.”
