    • 1817, John Keats, I stood tip-toe upon a little hill
      Ah, sure no tasteful nook would be without them
      And let a lush laburnum oversweep them,
      And let long grass grow round the roots to keep them
      Moist, cool and green; and shade the violets
      That they may bind the moss in leafy nets.
