Poetry Scansion
Following up materials given from last week, it is now the time to practice scan the poem.Scansion” is the process by which we assess and assign a meter to a poem or section of a poem, and although it was first defined to assess what was going on in ancient Greek and Latin poetry (which were much more regular in their meters), it applies just as well to free verse, and will equip you with quite a precise way of talking about poetic meter. Scansion involves breaking a line of poetry into . A foot of poetry can have two or three beats to it, but is always defined by the place in the foot that receives the stress.
Now Practice Scan the following poem from Christina Rossetti, and later decide what dominant pattern applied in the poem: Iambic, Trochaic, Anapaestic, or dactylic?
REMEMBER
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
