HAPPY WIND by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: OH, HAPPY WIND, HOW SWEET
Last Line: TO BE ALIVE THIS DAY.
Subject(s): WIND;

Oh, happy wind, how sweet
Thy life must be!
The great, proud fields of gold
Run after thee:
And here are flowers, with heads
To nod and shake;
And dreaming butterflies
To tease and wake,
Oh, happy wind, I say,
To be alive this day.
