Read “Wild Asters” by Sara Teasdale. What is the syllable count of the poem’s two stanzas?


In the spring I asked the daisies

If his words were true,

And the clever, clear-eyed daisies

Always knew.


Now the fields are brown and barren,

Bitter autumn blows,

And of all the stupid asters

Not one knows.

Explanation:

A syllable always contain a vowel sound it could be a long or a short sound but for every vowel sound we have to count a syllable, it is not about the written words it is about their pronunciation, there are some words that can differ in pronunciation and quantity of syllables depending of the country people are from.
