"The sun slowly rose over the horizon, casting a warm glow across the peaceful meadow. The flowers swayed gently in the breeze, their sweet fragrance filling the air. A group of birds chirped happily in the distance, their melodies creating a beautiful symphony. In the distance, a lone figure could be seen walking along the path, lost in thought. As the morning continued, the world around them came to life, with animals scurrying about and the gentle hum of insects buzzing in the air. It was a perfect day, filled with promise and possibility.

</View>Ref
The Text component supports the ref prop, which allows for obtaining a reference to the associated underlying HTML element. By default the ref will be of type HTMLSpanElement, but you can use the as prop to change the underlying html element.
import { useRef } from 'react';
import { Text } from '@rewind-ui/core';
function App() {
const ref = useRef<HTMLSpanElement>(null);
