Answer 2

Answer:

"A Girl´s Garden" by Robert Frost is a poem that was first published in 1916. It narrates the experiences of a girl, when she is young, as she receives what she wishes for from her father. The story is told from a neighbor´s point of view, instead of the girl´s own.

This poem is characterized by the fact that it has 12 stanzas, each with four lines. Most of the stanzas, and especially these two, have the rhyming scheme of two rhyming lines, usually the even paire´d ones; two and four, and two unrhyming ones, one and three. However, it is also characteristic that at some point, and in some stanzas, this even-paired-line rhyming, unpaired line non-rhyming scheme, changes, and it is the uneven-numbered lines, one, and three, that rhyme, instead of the others.
