THE WIND, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: To the lean, clean land, to the last cold height
Last Line: Will slit your weasand, and mine.


To the lean, clean land, to the last cold height,
You shall come with a whickering breath,
From the depths of despair or the depths of delight,
Stript stark to the wind of death.

And whether you're sinless, or whether you've sinned,
It's useless to whimper and whine;
For the lean, clean blade of the cut-throat wind
Will slit your weasand, and mine.
