''Trochaic'' :Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary :Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore- :While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping :As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door :( Edgar Allan Poe , " The Raven ") ''Dactylic'' :Ere frost-flower and snow-blossom faded and fell, and the splendour of winter had passed out of sight, :The ways of the woodlands were fairer and stranger than dreams that fulfil us in sleep with delight; :The breath of the mouths of the winds had hardened on tree-tops and branches that glittered and swayed :Such wonders and glories of blossomlike snow or of frost that outlightens all flowers till it fade :( A. C. Swinburne , "March: An Ode") |
