The vapours weep their burthen to the ground, 2.dimeter
Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath, 3.trimeter
And after many a summer dies the swan. 4. tetrameter

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

(from “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”
by Robert Frost)

When up aloft
I fly and fly,
I see in pools
The shining sky,
And a happy bird
Am I, am I!

(from “The Robin” by Thomas Hardy)

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and
wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there,
a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

(from “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”
by W. B. Yeats)

And shines like rotten wood;
Say to the church, it shows
What's good, and doth no good:

And die:
As one,
Unknown,
And gon,

(from “Upon His Departure Hence”
by Robert Herrick)
