Subject(s): Children; Wind; Childhood
The wind it rushes in and out
An' makes a great to-do,
An' little leaves leap all about
To tell you where it blew.
Whenever it goes racing by
It pulls my clothes and hair;
Some places it will sing or sigh,
But no one sees it there!
The trees are p'raps the only thing
That see it as it blows,
For they all lean, an' point, an' sing
In whispers, "There it goes!"
