Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

Its sober squares of black and white were hid
Beneath a restless, shuffling, wide-eyed mob
Of lackeys and retainers come to view

And then another.
Between them I hear the shuffling of feet.
Tramps doze on the window-ledges,

In open treaty. Rise above
Quibbles and shuffling off and on:
Here's friendship for you if you like; but love,--

In open treaty. Rise above
Quibbles and shuffling off and on:
Here's friendship for you if you like; but love,-

Ah, happy chance! the aged creature came,
Shuffling along with ivory-headed wand,
To where he stood, hid from the torch's flame,

The hangman, with his little bag,
Went shuffling through the gloom:
And each man trembled as he crept

The Red Man gave in poking about the mill
Over the great big thumping shuffling mill-stone
Disgusted the Miller physically as coming

Drawn by a lamp, they come
Out of the glimmering lines of their tents, over the shuffling sand.
