So low for long, they never right themselves:

Like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair
Before them over their heads to dry in the sun.

Elsewhere, in personal poems like "Frost at Midnight," and "Fears in
Solitude," all the value of the poem comes from the delicate sensations of

Of yonder tuberose: hide thee there --
There breathe the meditations of thine art
Suffused

Has rippled as a brook right pleasantly
Half-way to noon; but now with widening turn
Makes pause, in lucent

locked,
And rounds into a silver pool of morn,
Bottom'd with clover-fields.
