It rattles on breathlessly like this for 9 more stanzas with the same,

Opps, clearly anapestic:

JM: It also occurred to me to look through Frost ( theres also Kinbotes
note on miles to go before I sleep (Stopping by Woods on a Snowy
Evening,p.207,Library of America) and I first thought of a Thanksgiving
legend: The Sachem of the Clouds,p.404 When the sedge upon the meadows
crosses, falls and interrweaves/ Spent, the brook lies wrapt in silence on
its bed of autumns leaves;) but the time is wrong (Autumn, not early Spring
). Nevertheless, I reconsidered another gallop, also mentioned by Kinbote
(Schuberts Lied renders it very dramatically), when he omits the German
original when he compares its words Wind and Kind with the Zemblan. Its
worth checking into it in German and I found Sir Walter Scott has translated
it (The ERlking) into English, too.
