Drag each tile to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
match each line of poetry to the type of meter it contains.
the two were still but one.
my mother bore me in the
southern wild,
like honus wagner or
like tyrus cobb.
the wind blew high,
the waters raved,
is this a holy thing to see,
'tis morning, and the sun
with ruddy orb
it powders all the wood.
nor for itself hath any
care.
