First Line: Rough wind, that moanest loud
Last Line: Wail, for the world's wrong.
Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness
Rough wind, that moanest loud
Grief too sad for song;
Wild wind, when sullen cloud
Knells all the night long;
Sad storm, whose tears are vain,
Bare woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main, --
Wail, for the world's wrong.
