‘The Runaway‘ begins with the speaker describing the snowy settingof the poem and his initial encounter with a young male horse. The animal appears to be quite friendly, but then all of a sudden bolts. After running into the distance the speaker comes to the conclusion that the colt is afraid of the snow. There are no other creatures in the pasture...
