First Line: Where does the wind from the wilding blow
Last Line: Can april wonder be far behind?
Subject(s): Memory; Spring
Where does the wind from the wilding blow
Troubling the dream-caught woods of dawn
With hushed remembrance of woven music
Out of the shadowy gates of horn?
Under the still-fringed water-meadows
Colour is veining the grassy ways.
Over the dove-clad clouds of winter
A lark's cry falls through the ringing haze.
Wind and water and star-paled heaven
Mingle in colour and whisper of wind.
Earth and air call unto the Father.
Can April wonder be far behind?
