B. The rhyme pattern is ABAAB, and the meter is iambic.
Explanation:
We can find the rhyme pattern by placing the same letter on the side of the rhyming lines and different letters on the side of the non-rhyming lines.
So we have:
“They made her a grave, too cold and damp A
For a soul so warm and true B
And she’s gone to the Lake of the Dismal Swamp, A
Where, all night long, by a fire-fly lamp, A
She paddles her white canoe. B
And her fire-fly lamp I soon shall see, A
And her paddle I soon shall hear; B
Long and loving our life shall be, A
And I’ll hide the maid in a cypress tree, A
When the footstep of death is near.” B
We can conclude that the meter is iambic because the poem has versoa composed of five pairs of short / long syllables.
