Henry, it's probably my funky American ear, but I read it just as Mark does.

I don't think it's my attempt to read it as accentual trimeter that makes me say he went out of his way to make the following line clumsy:

Fell ECHoing through the SHAdowiness of the still HOUSE

It sounds twice as inept if you try to force a fourth beat onto it.
