Sonnet = 14 lines carefully written to fit a certain rhyme and meter and organizational pattern.

couplet = 2 lines
quatrain = 4 lines
A stressed syllable is pronounced more loudly than the others. You cannot tell just by looking at the word! You must pronounce it.
"It came upon a midnight clear..."
When you pronounce the words in that line, you should hear that the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th syllables are stressed.
