What is an example of alliteration in the highwayman?

Here's an example of alliteration from Alfred Noyes' "The Highwayman":

"The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees."

The repeated "t" sound in "torrent," "darkness," and "trees" creates a sense of rushing, turbulent energy, mirroring the wildness of the wind.

Let me know if you'd like to see other examples from the poem!
