But bowed his comely head
Down as upon a bed.Andrew Marvell
And, hungry for the old, familiar ways,
I turned aside and bowed my head and wept.Claude McKay

I walk unseen
On the dry smooth-shaven green,
To behold the wandering moon,
Riding near her highest noon,
Like one that had been led astray
Through the heav'n's wide pathless way,
And oft, as if her head she bowed,
Stooping through a fleecy cloud.John Milton
