What is the meter of “Acquainted with the Night”?
Could you please tell me what the meter of the poem “aquainted with the Night” by Robert Frost means? I’m terrible at finding which syllables are accented.
I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain — and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,
But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
O luminary clock against the sky
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night
I have heard it is Iambic Pentameter, which would mean the syllables would be: unstressed, stressed.
but it sounds like the “I” at the beginning of each line is stressed?
iamb?
trochee?
Dactyl?
Anapest?
Thank you!
You have a good ear. The poem’s meter is iambic pentameter, but with quite a few trochaic substitutions. Actually, some readers might hear more or less equal stresses on “I” and “have” in those lines, making the initial foot a spondee rather than a trochee. In any event, substitutions like that are fairly common. It’s a way of writing metrical verse without letting it get too sing-songy. You see examples of metrical substitution, such as a trochee at the beginning of an iambic line, in Shakespeare:
When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes

KMI Batt O Meter Musician Battery Tester
$29.95 The KMI Batt O Meter Musician Battery Tester is a small device that allows musicians to test the remaining hours of battery life and voltage of 9 volt batteries while they are still inside gear with a 1/4-inch plug. The Batt-O-Meter works with almost any active instrument pickup or effects unit (stompboxes and other floor effects) that require a 9 volt battery to operate, and is turned on when a standard 1/4-inch cable is plugged into it. The Batt-O-Meter can test stand-alone batteries: 9V, 1.5V (AAA, AA), and 3V. It does this, by automatically placing the battery under an appropriate load to simulate real world usage. It works with Alkaline, Rechargable, and old school Carbon-Zinc batteries.

Batt-O-Meter measures the Voltage and Current to let you know how many more hours the battery will work. A micro-processor within the unit allows the device to intelligently determine the different loads that can be put on the battery and calculate the power in hours remaining. This eliminates the need for extra buttons and adaptors, and makes the Batt-O-Meter simple to use. What is the Power Probe? The Power Probe is not your normal 1/4 inch plug. It is a gold plated 1/4' plug specially designed to allow the Batt-O-Meter to test the unit without turning it on. This allows for far more accurate readings with a wide array of devices. Can the Batt-O-Meter check its own battery? Yes! The B |
