Answer 2

The correct answer is (c): By organizing the poem into three short and even stanzas, Byron is able to convey the work's themes directly and succinctly. Lord Byron uses three rhyme schemes, one for each stanza. Ababab for the first one, cdcdcd for the second one and efefef for the third one. Rhymes complement the ideas of harmony and beauty. The first stanza praises the physical beauty of the woman. The second and third stanzas combine physical and spiritual qualities. Also, the meter of the verses is iambic tetrameter in which a line has four pairs of stressed and unesstressed syllables. This provides the poem a short and even way to express the themes of beauty and love, as well as the opposition between day and night in the second stanza. The metric corresponds with the initial idea of Lord Byron of making a song. Lord Byron also uses enjambment to link one verse to another in orden to keep the sense. For example, in lines one and two:  «She walks in beauty like the night / Of cloudness climes and starry skies». In this verses, the poet compares the woman to night of cloudness climes and starry skies. The simile only works beacuse of the enjambment.
