Sample Response: The poem lives as long as people are alive to read the words. The speaker's beloved lives forever in the lines of the poem.

Santos Vang · Answer 2

The meter of the stanzas is iambic pentameter, which means each line can be divided into five feet with one unstressed and stressed syllable each in that order. This gives the form of the poem a sense of cohesion and order which is very much in keeping with the central idea of the poem which advocates an ordered and controlled lifestyle.
