The other options are incorrect as the word "heart" is not crucial to the rhyme scheme, doesn't create end - rhyme in both poems, and isn't in enjambed lines in both poems to emphasize its importance.

Answer:

The word "heart" is a stressed syllable in each poem and part of a key image related to the theme.
