Question 3

The wind
I saw you the kites on high
And blow the bird about the sky
And all around I heard you pass
Like ladies across the grass
O wind, a-blowing all day long
O wind , that sings so loud a song!
I saw the different things you did
But always you yourself hid,
But I felt you push
I could not see you yourself at all- O wind, a-blowing
all day long O wind , that sings
so loud a song! O you that is so strong and cold,
O blower , are you young or old? Are you
a beast of field or tree ?
Or just a stronger child than me?
O wind, a-blowing all day long
O wind , that sings so loud a song!
