First Line: While joy gave clouds the light of stars

Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Wind


While joy gave clouds the light of stars,
That beamed where'er they looked;
And calves and lambs had tottering knees,
Excited, while they sucked;

While every bird enjoyed his song,
Without one thought of harm or wrong --
I turned my head and saw the wind,
Not far from where I stood,
Dragging the corn by her golden hair,
Into a dark and lonely wood.
