Walt Whitman’s "Song of Myself"

Question 4 • FL-1001370-English 3 A

What makes “Song of Myself” free verse?

Answer
A
It was given away at no charge.
B
It is influenced by older epic poetry.
C
It is unrhymed but follows European meter.
D
It follows no set meter or rhyme.

Explanation

Free verse does not follow a regular pattern of meter or rhyme. “Song of Myself” uses varied rhythms and does not maintain a set rhyme scheme, so it is free verse. Choice C is incorrect because following a European meter would mean the poem has a regular metrical pattern.
