Nature
LVIII
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
Nature
And the book lay open, and my thought flew from it, taking from it
A vibration and impulsion to an end beyond its own,
As the branch of a green osier, when a child would overcome it,
Springs up freely from his claspings and goes swinging in the sun.
