HYMN TO THE WINDS, by JOACHIM DU BELLAY Poet's Biography First Line: To you, troop so fleet Last Line: In the sun's heat. Alternate Author Name(s): Du Bellay, Joachim Subject(s): Wind | |||
TO YOU, troop so fleet, That with winged wandering feet, Through the wide world pass, And with soft murmuring Toss the green shades of spring In woods and grass, Lily and violet I give, and blossoms wet, Roses and dew; This branch of blushing roses, Whose fresh bud uncloses, Wind-flowers, too. Ah, winnow with sweet breath, Winnow the holt and heath, Round this retreat; Where all the golded morn We fan the gold o' the corn, In the sun's heat. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE WIND by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN LEAF LITTER ON ROCK FACE by HEATHER MCHUGH RESIDENTIAL AREA by JOSEPHINE MILES THE DAY THE WINDS by JOSEPHINE MILES VARIATIONS: 12 by CONRAD AIKEN OH IT'S PRETTY WINDY OUTSIDE by LARRY EIGNER RUINES OF ROME by JOACHIM DU BELLAY |
