what is the meter of the poem I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud?

1 Answer

  1. The meter of the poem I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud is iambic tetrameter which means each line has four (“tetra”) iambs (an iamb is a combination of stressed and unstressed syllables).

    e.g.

    wandered lonely as a cloud
    That floats on high o’er vales and hills.

    The bold ones are stressed syllables while the normal ones are unstressed syllables.
