Wind of the sunny south! oh, still delay
In the gay woods and in the golden air,
Like to a good old age released from care,
Journeying, in long serenity, away.
In such a bright, late quiet, would that I
Might wear out life like thee, mid bowers and brooks,
And, dearer yet, the sunshine of kind looks,
And music of kind voices ever nigh;
And when my last sand twinkled in the glass,
Pass silently from men as thou dost pass.

The wind, the wandering wind

The wind, the wandering wind
Of the golden summer eyes--
Whence is the thrilling magic
Of its tunes amongst the leaves?

Or from the long, tall grass?
Or is it from the hollow rocks
Through which its breathings pass?

The hushed winds wail with feeble moan
Like infant charity.

An ill wind that bloweth no man good--
The blower of which blast is she.

It's a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds' cries;
I never hear the west wind but tears are in my eyes.
For it comes from the west lands, the old brown hills,
And April's in the West wind, and daffodils.

When the stormy winds do blow;
When the battle rages loud and long,
And the stormy winds read more

And the stormy winds do blow.

Madame, bear in mind
That princes govern all things--save the wind.

I hear the wind among the trees
Playing the celestial symphonies;

I hear the wind among the trees
Playing the celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,
Like keys of some great instrument.

Where hast thou wandered. gentle gale, to find
The perfumes thou dost bring?
