Examples

“The first wood down is sere and small, / From the hills, the brishings off the hills; / And then come by the bats and all / We cut last year in the hills; […]”

“The fire our friend, that symbol since the cave, / Which on a wintry morning, still half dark, / In roadside fireside when our days are stark / But bonfire brishings of the hedges spark / Touches our childish heart, and makes us brave.”
