In poetry and prose, it has a consistent meter with 10 syllables in each line (pentameter); where, unstressed syllables are followed by stressed ones, five of which are stressed but do not rhyme. It is also known as “un-rhymed iambic pentameter.”

You stars that reign’d at my nativity,
Whose influence hath allotted death and hell,
Now draw up Faustus like a foggy mist
Into entrails of yon labouring clouds, …
So that my soul may but ascend to Heaven …

Usually, there is a single narrator who is engaging with the natural landscape in a meaningful way. Farm settings are widely popular within the genre, as is the promotion of a simpler, more natural life

I went to turn the grass once after one
Who mowed it in the dew before the sun. The dew was gone that made his blade so keen
Before I came to view the levelled scene. 
I looked for him behind an isle of trees;
I listened for his whetstone on the breeze.
