Read the poem “roses,” by george eliot.

you love the roses—so do i. i wish
the sky would rain down roses, as they rain
from off the shaken bush. why will it not?
then all the valley would be pink and white
and soft to tread on. they would fall as light
as feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be
like sleeping and like waking, all at once!

what is the main style difference between “roses” and "night"?
a.“roses” uses iambic pentameter.
b.“roses” uses a more modern form.
c.“night” uses a rhyme scheme.
d.“night” uses trochaic pentameter.

the night has cut
each from each
and curled the petals
back from the stalk
and under it in crisp rows;

under at an unfaltering pace,
under till the rinds break,
back till each bent leaf
is parted from its stalk;

under at a grave pace,
under till the leaves
are bent back
till they drop upon earth,
back till they are all broken.

o night,
you take the petals
of the roses in your hand,
but leave the stark core
of the rose
to perish on the branch.
