Then the trees closed in and it became very silent.

The trees closed in on either side of them.

Beyond the meadow the trees and brush closed in again.

The trees closed in around him and he walked through a fairy land that held its breath.

They lost sight of them as the trees closed around the path to the next clearing.

The glade ended, trees closed in again on the track.

As the trees closed behind them, the sky disappeared, blotted from view.

With the trees closing around them, they might have been anywhere.

The trees closed over her; the ground was as dark as evening.

The trees quickly closed about them and the night sky disappeared.
