If we consider a trochaic meter [ / * | / * | / *, or / * | / * | /] well established in this poem, what do we have with the marked syllable?

                        By the craggy hill-side,
                          Through the mosses bare,
                        They have planted thorn-trees
                           For pleasure here and there.
                                        --William Allingham
