It's iambic and masculine.
The line is trochaic tri-meter (3 trochaic feet) is feminine because it ends on an un-emphasized beat.
Those words are the rhythm and emphasis.

Answer:

"For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams." is anapestic, and masculine ending.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anapestic is a kind of metrical foot which consists of three syllables, two unstressed and then one stressed, or in other words, two short syllables followed by a long one. Then we can determine whether an ending is feminine or masculine according to the stress it has, If the line ends on a stressed syllable, the line is considered masculine.
