You love the roses—so do I. I wish
The sky would rain down roses, as they rain
From off the shaken bush. Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and white
And soft to tread on. They would fall as light
As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be
Like sleeping and like waking, all at once!

is this iambic pentameter?

I would say it is a more modern form, I'm not quite sure though, sorry I cant help you more, but I don't know topic.
When you have a firm grasp on the topic of the question that you just asked, please don't forget to close the question. Thank you and have an AMAZING Monday!
Oh yeah, if you have any other questions, you can always go to Khan Academy, they always have great videos to help you learn stuff that your a little confused about, I don't know if they have this particular topic, but its worth a try.
ANYWAYS best of luck to you!
