Each running at the other in a fright,

Each trying to get before the other, and crying.

And flying, and stumbling, tumbling, wrong or right;—

One sets her knee

There where her foot should be;

One has her hands and dress

All smother’d up with mud in a fine mess;

And one gets trampled on by two or three.

What’s gathered is let fall

About the wood, and not pick’d up at all.
