不过也不要小视美国人写的诗。 请看网友细说其中的讲究。

"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

有三组尾韵：“-ire,” “-ice,” and “-ate.”

句子中间highlight的单个字母：
是： 头韵（alliteration）。like: Some/say; favor/fire, the word starts with same letter.

句子下标的大O，是重读(accented syllable);
句子下标的小o，是次重读(secondary emphasized syllable)
