[拓展]
英语诗歌小常识
1. 有的英文诗分成几节（stanza），每节由若干诗行组成；有的诗则不分节。
2. 英文诗每行的第一个字母都大写，但是一诗行不一定是一个完整的句子，
不一定能表达一个完整的意思。有时候，一行诗正好是一句，有时两行甚至许多行才构成一个意思完整的句子。
3. 英文诗一般都押韵。常见的几种押韵方式：头韵是指一行（节）诗中几个词开头的辅音相同，形成押韵。押在诗行最后一个重读音节上，叫尾韵。这是英文诗歌最常见的押韵部位。诗行中间停顿处的重读音节与该行最后一个重读音节押韵者，叫行内韵。也有不少英文诗是不押韵的，不押韵的诗称无韵诗或白体诗（blank verse）。多用在戏剧和叙事诗中。
