iambic pentameter i believe

Answer:

The correct answer is iambic pentameter.

Explanation:

A iambic pentameter is defined as a line of verse with five metrical feet, each of them with one short syllable (which is un unstressed) followed by a long syllable (which is stressed.) This structure can be seen in the poem, so it is the correct answer.
