Help Help Read this passage from “The Song of Hiawatha.” What effect is created by the poet’s use of troche tetrameter? Ye who love the haunts of Nature, Love the sunshine of the meadow, Love the shadow of the forest, Love the wind among the branches, And the rain-shower and the snowstorm, And the rushing of great rivers Through their palisades of pine-trees, And the thunder in the mountains, Whose innumerable echoes Flap like eagles in their eyries; Listen to these wild traditions, To this Song of Hiawatha! The meter calls to mind the sound of a Native American drumbeat. The meter calls to mind the sound of a rushing river. The meter calls to mind the sound of a baby’s cry. The meter calls to mind the sound of a horse galloping into battle.
