Question

List all the examples of personification in the poem the brook

Answer 1

The various examples of personification in the poem are as follows:

I come from haunts of coot and hern.

I make a sudden sally.

By thirty hills I hurry down.

Till last by Philip's farm I flow.

But I go on for ever.

I chatter over stony ways,

I bubble into eddying bays, I babble on the pebbles.
With many a curve my banks I fret.

I chatter, chatter, as I flow.

But I go on for ever.

 I wind about, and in and out, 

Upon me, as I travel.


I steal by lawns and grassy plots, I slide by hazel covers I move the sweet forget-me-nots

I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance,

Among my skimming swallows; I make the netted sunbeam dance Against my sandy shallows.

I murmur under moon and stars In brambly wildernesses; I linger by my shingly bars; I loiter round my cresses;
And out again I curve and flow.

But I go on for ever.
