First Line: The roguish wind, when bored with play
Last Line: The roguish wind.
Subject(s): Wind
The roguish wind, when bored with play
Among the tree tops, comes to sway
The ferns and fan the grass below;
And while I watch, the scamp will go
Across the lawn to dance a gay
Fandango with my flowers; yea,
Will swoop across the fields to spray
The lake with sparkling waves to tow
The roguish wind.
The air is sibilant with fray
Of leaves and vibrates with the lay
He breathes to fragrant trees that pray
For fruits, and murmurings that flow
Through pines too woe-begone to stay
The roguish wind.
