Read “Wild Asters” by Sara Teasdale. What is the syllable count of the poem’s two stanzas?

In the spring I asked the daisies
If his words were true,
And the clever, clear-eyed daisies
Always knew.

Now the fields are brown and barren,
Bitter autumn blows,
And of all the stupid asters
Not one knows.

Answer:

The syllable count of the poem’s two stanzas is 2.) 8-5-8-3, 8-5-8-3

Step-by-step explanation:

A syllable always contain a vowel sound it could be a long or a short sound but for every vowel sound we have to count a syllable, it is not about the written words it is about their pronunciation, there are some words that can differ in pronunciation and quantity of syllables depending of the country people are from.
