Read the poem below and answer the question that follows. “La Belle Dame sans Merci: A Ballad” by John Keats O, what can ail the

e, knight-at-arms, Alone and palely loitering? The sedge has withered from the lake, And no birds sing. O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, So haggard and so woe-begone? The squirrel’s granary is full, And the harvest’s done. I see a lily on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever-dew, And on thy cheeks a fading rose Fast withereth too. I met a lady in the meads Full beautiful—a faery’s child, Her hair was long, her foot was light, And her eyes were wild. I made a garland for her head, And bracelets too, and fragrant zone; She looked at me as she did love, And made sweet moan. I set her on my pacing steed, And nothing else saw all day long, For sidelong would she bend, and sing A faery’s song. She found me roots of relish sweet, And honey wild, and manna-dew, And sure in language strange she said— “I love thee true.” She took me to her elfin grot, And there she wept and sighed full sore, And there I shut her wild wild eyes With kisses four. And there she lullèd me asleep, And there I dreamed—Ah! woe betide!— The latest dream I ever dreamt On the cold hill side. I saw pale kings and princes too, Pale warriors, death-pale were they all; They cried—“La Belle Dame sans Merci Thee hath in thrall!” I saw their starved lips in the gloam, With horrid warning gapèd wide, And I awoke and found me here, On the cold hill’s side. And this is why I sojourn here, Alone and palely loitering, Though the sedge is withered from the lake, And no birds sing.

Hey there!

This poem is divided into twelve four lines of stanzas, which are known as quatrains; the rhyme scheme of each of the quatrain is ABCB.

The poem is in iambic tetrameter: One Iamb is when an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable and tetra means four. That is, each line of the ballad contains four iambs; however, there are only three stressed syllables in the fourth line of each quatrain.

The meter is iambic with 4 feet in the first 3 lines; the last line has 2 feet.

Hope this helps!

Could u, please, mark as brainliest?

Have a good day.
