    “And then I ran to get away,

    The tree was bending to the side
    And leaning out to look at me.”

    “Out came the children running.
    All the little boys and girls,
    With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls,
    And sparkling eyes and teeth like pearls,
    Tripping and skipping, ran merrily after
    The wonderful music with shouting and laughter.”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    it was so still;
    the stream ran from the oak-copse
    and returned and ran
    back into shadow.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
