The first line has three feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short (quantitative trochaic trimeter). The second line has three feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short-long (quantitative cretic trimeter). The third line has three feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-long (quantitative spondaic trimeter). The rhyme scheme of the poem is ABA.
