  • A stanza is a unit within a larger poem. In modern poetry, the term is often equivalent with strophe; in popular vocal music, a stanza is typically referred to as a "verse" (distinct from the refrain, or "chorus"). A stanza consists of a grouping of lines, set off by a space, that usually has a set pattern of meter and rhyme.
