Emily Dickinson What is the pattern and rhyme in the poem "Because I Could Not Stop for Death"? Asked by bookragstutor 12 years ago 11/28/2012 8:47 AM Last updated by anonymous 12 years ago 12/31/2012 7:25 PM
The metrical pattern is irregular and teh rhyme scheme is mostly xByB. The 1,3 lines don't rhyme and are generally speaking a tetrameter with the 2,4th lines being trimeter.
