6. Stanza Example Definition
This poem has two stanzas made up of four lines.
(Beginning of the first stanza)
I had no time to hate, because
The grave would hinder me,
And life was not so simple It
Could finish enmity.
(End of the first stanza)

Nor had I time to love; but since
Some industry must be,
The little toil of love, I thought,
Was large enough for me.
