Up-Hill
by Christina Rossetti
Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Will the day's journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.
But is there for the night a resting-place?
A roof for when the slow dark hours begin.
May not the darkness hide it from my face?
You cannot miss that inn.
Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?
Those who have gone before.
Then must I knock, or call when just in sight?
They will not keep you standing at that door.
Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?
Of labour you shall find the sum.
Will there be beds for me and all who seek?
Yea, beds for all who come.

1. rhythm - In poetry, rhythm refers to the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables that creates a sense of movement or beat within a poem. In "Up-Hill," the rhythm helps establish the pacing and flow of the poem as the speaker asks questions and receives answers about the journey ahead.

2. stanza - A stanza is a group of lines in a poem, typically separated by a space. Each stanza in "Up-Hill" contains four lines, and they serve as distinct units within the poem, addressing different aspects of the journey.

3. meter- Meter refers to the rhythmic structure of a poem, determined by the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in each line. While "Up-Hill" does have a consistent rhythm, the specific meter (such as iambic pentameter or trochaic tetrameter) is not specified in the excerpt provided.

4. rhyme - Rhyme occurs when words have similar ending sounds. While "Up-Hill" does not contain end rhyme (where the final words of lines rhyme with each other), it does feature internal rhyme (rhyme that occurs within a line), such as "day" and "way" in the second stanza.

5. synchronize - To synchronize means to move together or do something at the same time. In the context of poetry, this term could refer to the alignment of various poetic elements, such as rhythm, meter, and rhyme, to create a harmonious and cohesive composition.

6. poem - A poem is a composition in verse, typically characterized by literary devices such as imagery, metaphor, and symbolism. "Up-Hill" is indeed a poem, as it is written in verse form and conveys its message through poetic language and structure.
