Goblin Market What is the meter in A Birthday by Rossetti? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by Jill W on 15 Jan 13:13
A Birthday has an iambic rhythm which pushes the poem forward, emphasizing her urgency and excitement to express just how her heart feels. It rests on “heart”, reinforcing her love and even resembles a heartbeat.
