"Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Ο o Ο o Ο
Some say in ice.
o Ο
From what I've tasted of desire
o Ο o Ο Ο
I hold with those who favor fire.
Ο o Ο o Ο
But if it had to perish twice,
Ο o Ο Ο
I think I know enough of hate
o Ο o Ο Ο
To say that for destruction ice,
o o Ο o Ο
Is also great
Ο o
And would suffice。
Ο o
有三組尾韻:“-ire,” “-ice,” and “-ate.”
句子中間highlight的單個字母:

句子下標的大O,是重讀(accented syllable);
句子下標的小o,是次重讀(secondary emphasized syllable)
