Również Edwin Arlington Robinson posłużył się ośmiostopowcem trocheicznym w wierszu The valley of the shadowPaull Franklin Baum, tamże.:

THERE were faces to remember in the Valley of the Shadow, There were faces unregarded, there were faces to forget; There were fires of grief and fear that are a few forgotten ashes, There were sparks of recognition that are not forgotten yet. For at first, with an amazed and overwhelming indignation 5 At a measureless malfeasance that obscurely willed it thus, They were lost and unacquainted—till they found themselves in others, Who had groped as they were groping where dim ways were perilous.
