WIND IN THE DUSK, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The wind feels hard enough tonight
Last Line: On me the everlasting skies!
Subject(s): Nature; Wind


THE wind feels hard enough to-night
To crack the stars, and bring them down;
The wildly waving trees are bright
With spindrift from the driving moon.

All round the mountain peaks are curled
Thin wispy trails of foaming cloud.
The wind is hooting at the world,
Or hissing like an angry crowd.

I think I saw a little star
Entangled in a knotty tree,
As trembling fishes often are
In nets that drag them from the sea.

The winding tempest lifts and dips
Between the earth and sparkling skies:
It catches on my hair and lips;
It splashes in my hair and eyes.

Round, down and up the whirlwinds roar;
Each roughly to the other cries...
Wind, overturn the goblet, pour
On me the everlasting skies!
