Question

which poem from the reading list of this lesson most clearly uses free verse?
a. \annabel lee,\ by edgar allan poe
b. \flush or faunus,\ by elizabeth barrett browning
c. \love infinite,\ by rabindranath tagore
d. \sonnet xv,\ by maximilian voloshin

Explanation:

Free verse poetry lacks a consistent rhyme scheme and metrical pattern.

• "Annabel Lee" follows a strict rhyme and rhythmic structure.
• "Flush or Faunus" uses a formal, structured poetic form.
• "Sonnet XV" is a sonnet, which has a fixed 14-line structure and rhyme scheme.
• Rabindranath Tagore's "Love Infinite" (from his Gitanjali) is written in free verse, with no regular rhyme or meter, fitting the definition of free verse clearly.

Answer:

C. "Love Infinite," by Rabindranath Tagore
