Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself”

Question 2 • (J. Blaum) 0231 10th Grade English 1st 9 Weeks 26-27

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 metrical pattern or a fixed rhyme scheme. “Song of Myself” uses lines with varying rhythms and does not rely on a set pattern of rhyme, so it follows no set meter or rhyme. That makes choice D correct.
