WIND WHIMSEY, by EDNA FREDERIKSON 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. | 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 |
