Probably the most famous example of personification in poetry

is the Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme .

Hey diddle, diddle

The cat and the fiddle

The cow jumped over the moon

The little dog laughed to see such fun

And the dish ran away with the spoon!

Personification is when a human quality is transposed

onto an animal or inanimate subject:

'dog laughed'....'dish ran away with the spoon'

In Wiliiam Blake's 'The Train' he makes

great use of personification.. the first stanza;

I like to see it lap the miles

And lick the valleys up

And stop to feed itself at tanks

And then, prodigious, step
