1.
Unseen, the farmer's boy from round the hill
Whistles a snatch that seeks his soul unsought,
And fills some time with tune, howbeit shrill.
2. Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and wait.
3. I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
It seems to me a reasonable alternative here would be
'Tis better ot have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
4. Billowy bays of grass ever rolling in shadow and sunshine
Bright with luxuriant clusters of roses and purple amorphas.
Over them wanered the buffalo herds, and the elk and the roebuck.
Write your own example of a spondee, trochee, and dactyl.
