Thanks for reading, folks.
"Smile" is a strange word, metrically. Sometimes I pronounce it with one syllable, other times I say it with two syllables, like Smy-ul. In this context, for some reason I would pronounce it as "smy-ul" with two syllables. For some reason, however, I pronounce "while" with one syllable in lines 2 & 6...
These discrepancies made me google how many syllables are in "smile" and I came across a very interesting answer someone gave in Yahoo Answers on this topic (it's the "Best Answer"): https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index...015AAc094i
I personally say smile with two syllables there, but if most other people say it with one, I'll try and change it.
