WINDY DAY, by HARRIET MILLS MCKAY
First Line: The wind blew in from the sea all day
Last Line: I found them gallant company.
Subject(s): Wind
First Line: The wind blew in from the sea all day
Last Line: I found them gallant company.
Subject(s): Wind
The wind blew in from the sea all day
In such a wild disturbing way,
It shook the house, and whipped the trees,
And told the strangest odysseys ...
It weighed me down with its dolorous song,
Singing and sighing overlong.
So I quit the house, and walked the shore,
To deal direct with the windy roar....
Though buffeted with a rough caress
In arrogant high-handedness,
Alone on the beach with the wind and sea
I found them gallant company.
