The excerpt of the poem Preludes by T.S. Eliot is an example of a sprung rhythm. Furthermore, a sprung rhythm is a type of poetic rhythm wherein the first line of a line in the poem is stressed and it would be followed by unstressed syllables. It was developed by poet Gerard Hopkins during the 19th century.
