The Wind.

Topics: classic

The lithe wind races and sings             Over the grasses and wheat -         See the emerald floor as it springs             To the touch of invisible feet!         Ah, later, the fir and the pine             Shall stoop to its weightier tread,         As it tramps the thundering brine             Till it shudders and whitens in dread!         Breath of man! a glass of thine own             Is the wind on the land, on the sea -         Joy of life at thy touch! - full grown,             Destruction and death maybe!
