Task 1: Reflecting on a Poem's Form

Earlier in this unit, you learned how to analyze a poem's rhythm or meter, which is defined by the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in each line. Scansion is the technical term for scanning a poem line by line and word by word, marking which syllables are stressed and which ones are unstressed.

Look at the metrical pattern of the first two lines of Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." The character x marks an unstressed syllable, while the character / marks a stressed syllable (in bold font in the text).

x / x / x / x /

Whose woods | these are | I think | I know.

x / x / x / x /

His house | is in | the vill | age though;

The scansion marks show that each line in the stanza has the same pattern: four pairs per line, with the unstressed syllable before the stressed syllable in each pair (x / x / x / x /). This pattern is called iambic tetrameter.

Select a song that you like and scan the lyrics, noting the rhyme scheme and meter. Then, reflect on and respond to the following questions:

What rhyme scheme and meter do the lyrics have? Is it a set meter, or does it vary?

How do you think the song type (rap, hip-hop, pop, country, etc.) influences the kind of meter it has?

Would you expect to find a similar rhyme scheme and meter in other songs in this genre?

If you recited the song lyrics as you would a poem, would it have the same rhythm and meter as it does as a song?

Does putting the lyrics to the musical arrangement alter the spoken rhythm of the

words?

Type your response here:

Now write a four-line stanza of your own that you think would go well to music. After you write the stanza, reflect on the following questions:

What rhyme scheme and meter does your poem have?

How do those qualities help express the meaning of the poem?

What genre of music do you see your poem fitting into?

In what ways is the musical genre you envision connected to the rhyme scheme and meter that you chose?

Task 2: Comparing Text and Song Versions of a Poem

In this task, you will write a short essay that contrasts how a poem sounds when read in its original form to how that poem sounds when heard as a song.

Choose one of the following pairs of poems and songs:

“” by Alfred Tennyson; song “The Lady of Shalott” by Loreena McKennitt

“” by Emily Dickinson; song “Because I Could not Stop” by Natalie Merchant

“” by Christina Rossetti; song “Promises Like Pie-Crust” by Carla Bruni

“” by William Butler Yeats; song “The Two Trees” by Loreena McKennitt

Plan to read the text version of the poem and listen to the song version a few times to get a good feel for the rhythm of each of the two versions and how it contributes to the feel and meaning of the poem in both situations.

Write a short essay (200–400 words) comparing the two versions of the poem, considering the following questions:

How does the meter of the poem change, if at all, when it is presented in song form?

Does the original poem have a meter that lends itself well to song lyrics?

How, if at all, is the poem changed or presented differently as a song?

Why might the artist have made changes to the poem?

Does the poem take on a different meaning in song form than in poetic form?

Structure your essay into an introduction, body, and conclusion, and make sure that it focuses on a main idea. Use textual evidence, including scansion, to support your ideas.

Type the first draft of your essay here:

Revise the draft of your essay before you submit it to your teacher. Use the following

checklist to revise your essay:

Does the essay have a clear and concise main idea?

Is this idea made clear to the reader in a thesis statement early in the essay (usually in the first paragraph)?

Is there a clear plan and sense of organization to the essay?

Have you included concrete examples from the poem to support the claims in the essay?

Is each paragraph clearly related to the main claims of the essay?

Is the main point of each paragraph clear in the essay?

Does the essay's conclusion emphasize the main idea and provide a sense of completeness?

task 1:

The song that I choose is Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran.

#1 The scheme that the song use in each stanza is ABAB.

#2 It's an acoustic song about love and I think the song is influenced by the emotion of the writer.

#3 Yes, but different in tempo and beat in musical chores

#4 Nope, Singing is not the same on how you read a poem

#5Yes it may vary on the beat and drops of music chores

I've been meaning to ask you

If that's not too drastical

wonder if it's okay

To pick you up by eight

The rhyme scheme of this poem is AABB. The rhyme in this poem is achieved by the pronounciation and stress put into "ask you"; stressing ASK and then stressing the first syllabe of "drastical" and this way the rhyme on the first two lines is completed. Then for the last two lines the rhyme is achieved and the whole stanza resolved by stressing "okAY" and then "Eight".

Meter:

The stanza's meter is trochaic tetrameter (4 trochees, 8 syllables)

I've been | meaning | to | ask you

if that's | not | too | drastical

wonder | if | it's | okay

To pick | you up | by | eight

This rhyme scheme and meter are most used by rap artist for it's impact and flexibility to create a rhyme. The stressed words are the ones that address the receiver of the message that is a proposition for a meeting or a date. This poem is fitting for the rap music genre, for it's pronounciation of key words (with a suburban accent) completes the rhyme in the second and third lines ("oKAY" and "DRAStical").

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him. then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
