WIND WHIMSEY, by                    
First Line: The wind is in the dry leaves
Last Line: Friendly -- but aloof.
Subject(s): Wind


The wind is in the dry leaves,
The wind is on the roof,
The wind is curling 'round the house,
Friendly -- but aloof.

O Autumn Wind, I'm listening
With all my wistful heart,
And fain would I be like yourself,
Gracious -- yet apart.

I'd curve around my neighbor's house
And hug his cheerless roof,
And I would be as you are, Wind,
Friendly -- but aloof.
