Answer:

The rhyme pattern is ABAAB, and the meter is iambic.

Explanation:

If we analyze these two stanzas of the poem in the following way, we can obtain the answer.

  • “They made her a grave, too cold and damp   A (First sound)
  • For a soul so warm and true;     B (Second sound)
  • And she’s gone to the Lake of the Dismal Swamp,  A (Same sound of the first line)
  • Where, all night long, by a fire-fly lamp,   A (Same sound of the first line)
  • She paddles her white canoe.     B (Same sound of the second line)

  • “And her fire-fly lamp I soon shall see,    A (First sound)
  • And her paddle I soon shall hear;    B (Second sound)
  • Long and loving our life shall be,    A (Same sound of the first line)
  • And I’ll hide the maid in a cypress tree,    A (Same sound of the first line)
  • When the footstep of death is near.”   B (Same sound of the second line)

On the other hand, the meter is the patter of stressed and unstressed syllables the Iambic meter patter is unstressed then stressed and it is the one used in this poem.

Answer:

There are no dependent clauses

And is the coordinating conjunction

"It was almost December" is an independent clause

"Jonas was beginning to be frightened is an independent clause  

There aren't any prepositional phrases

Compound sentence

It adds to the overall effect on the readers because it shows that Jonas is uncertain and makes the readers realize the correction that Jonas makes to make the sentence more reasonable.
