A poem’s meter is the type of poetic foot combined with the number of poetic feet in each line. Review the first stanza of “The Raven” again and identify its meter. Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“'Tis some visitor, “I muttered, tapping at my chamber door —
Only this, and nothing more.”

Note the meter of the poem. Then provide a brief explanation for your answer. Be sure to use examples from the poem.
