Match each excerpt to the correct stanza structure. 1. It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of Annabel Lee;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love and be loved by me.

(from "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe)

And flood a fresher throat with song.

3. Nature’s first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf’s a flower

But only so an hour.

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

(from "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost)

4. At Sestos Hero dwelt; Hero the fair,

Whom young Apollo courted for her hair,

And offered as a dower his burning throne,

Where she should sit for men to gaze upon.

The lining purple silk, with gilt stars drawn;

(from "Hero and Leander" by Christopher Marlowe)
