Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

Softly the birch trees rustle
Flinging over us branches wide.

And drank and ate with him, and showed her teeth,
While laughing, shaking curls, and flinging back
Her head for rapture, and in little crows.

In the rain, and I go singing
Through the lots where you are flinging
Yellow clay on dust!

Pass royal through the gate --
Flinging the problem back
At you and I!
