Shakespeare, It Was a Lover and His Lass
Start by reading....
This practice activity gives you some time looking at the rhyme structure and the metrical or accent structure of poetry. Read the poem, maybe even out loud, paying attention to the strong and weak accents your voice makes, and to the way the ends of the lines rhyme. Don't be afraid of poetry--just give it a try in your own voice and get comfortable reading it over two or three times. Because this poem was also meant to be a song, you can click on the audio button to hear it being sung.
The Poem

question 7/8
Between the acres of the rye, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, Those pretty country folks would lie, In springtime, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; Sweet lovers love the spring.
question 8/8
Between the acres of the rye, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, Those pretty country folks would lie, In springtime, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; Sweet lovers love the spring.
Congratulations!

It was a lover and his lass And therefore take the present time, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonimo, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, That o’er the green cornfield did pass, For love is crowned with the prime In springtime, the only pretty ring time, In springtime, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; Sweet lovers love the spring. Sweet lovers love the spring. Between the acres of the rye, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, Those pretty country folks would lie, In springtime, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; Sweet lovers love the spring. This carol they began that hour, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, How that a life was but a flower In springtime, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; Sweet lovers love the spring. [Note: the word "nonino" is a nonsense word, sometimes spelled nonny-no; it's there to fill up the end of the line and make the meter come out right. It was used in many old English songs from the Renaissance and possibly earlier]
