Read the excerpt from “Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood” by William Wordsworth. Use scansion to determine which two lines are written in iambic tetrameter. (An iambic foot is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Tetrameter indicates that the pattern repeats four times in the line.) There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparell’d in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
It is not now as it hath been of yore;—
Turn wheresoe’er I may,
By night or day,
The things which I have seen I now can see no more.
