Poem Reading - 'Fire and Ice' by Robert Frost

 

"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

句尾的highlight是韻：

三組尾韻：“-ire,” “-ice,” and “-ate.”

句子中間highlight的單個字母：
是頭韻（alliteration）。like: Some/say; favor/fire, the word starts with same letter.

句子下標的大O，是重讀(accented syllable);（這是隨意想出的標示。）
句子下標的小O，是次重讀(secondary emphasized syllable)
