And what I assume you shall assume,

For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

Does this poem have a consistent number of syllables in each line? If so, how many?

And sorry I could not travel both

Are full of passionate intensity

What is the rhyme scheme of this poem?

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

And that has made all the difference.
