What is the meter of this poem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm having a hard time figuring out the meter of this poem, I'm stuck between either iambic dimeter or iambic tetrameter Wild Nights -- Wild Nights! Were I with thee Wild Nights should be Our luxury! Futile -- the Winds -- To a Heart in port -- Done with the Compass -- Done with the Chart! Rowing in Eden -- Ah, the Sea! Might I but moor -- Tonight --In Thee!

You could always Google the two terms and then compare, but it should be iambic dimeter. --- Sources: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111102054209AARCpeu http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/english/melani/cs6/wild.html
