Question

HELP ASAP!!!! The Railway Train Emily Dickinson, 1896 I like to see it lap the miles, And lick the valleys up, And stop to feed itself at tanks; And then, prodigious, step Around a pile of mountains, And, supercilious, peer In shanties by the sides of roads; And then a quarry pare To fit its sides, and crawl between, Complaining all the while In horrid, hooting stanza; Then chase itself down hill And neigh like Boanerges1; Then, punctual as a star, Stop—docile and omnipotent— At its own stable door. 1The name of a thoroughbred race horse famous in North America in the late 19th century Which of the following best describes the rhyme scheme of Emily Dickinson's "The Railway Train"? ABCB ABCD ABAB ABCA

Answer 2

ABCD

Step-by-step explanation:

The first line has four stresses (like, see, lap, Miles), while the second has just three (lick, Val-, up). This example of versifying tetrameter (that is, four-iamb meter) and rhyming trimeter (three-iamb meter) is referred to as ditty meter – as in, the meter most regularly utilized in people melodies. Two arrangements of these alternating lines – a sum of four lines, or one quatrain – is called ballad stanza. Dickinson's lyric pursues the exemplary rhyme scheme for ballads, ABCB.
