Robert Bridges - "While yet we wait for spring, and from the dry." This sonnet reads best aloud so that you can feel the rhythm of iambic pentameter. In English, an iambic (unstressed-stressed-unstressed, etc.) stress pattern flows easily in both poetry and prose. When the poet uses this together with the (ten-syllable) pentameter, the rhythm is regular and hypnotic. Robert Bridges was a master of this technique. He once stated that it was his internal rhythm - it just trans...lated naturally to his poetry. Try this. Read the sonnet aloud. The rhythm will come naturally. Reading poetry aloud is a form of meditation; it can be even hypnotic. Poetic language is magic. While yet we wait for spring, and from the dry And blackening east that so embitters March, Well-housed must watch grey fields and meadows parch, And driven dust and withering snowflakes fly; Already in glimpses of the tarnish'd sky The sun is warm and beckons to the larch, And where the covert hazels interarch Their tassell'd twigs, air beds of primrose lie. Beneath the crisp and wintry carpet hid A million buds but stay their blossoming; And trustful birds have built their nests amid The shuddering boughs, and only wait to sing Till one soft shower from the south shall bid, And hither tempt the pilgrim steps of spring.
