THE WIND, by                    
First Line: From whence I come no man may know
Last Line: I am the wind.
Subject(s): Wind


From whence I come no man may know --
When I may strike or where I go,
I help the robin southward pass --
The darkest clouds I drive, alas,
Wanted or not, I blow and blow.

I spread afar all seeds that grow,
I bend the tallest trees so low,
I even sear the little grass,
I am the wind.

I make the dying bonfire glow,
I dry the streams in summer so
The tribe of Israel may pass --
I change to turn back deadly gas --
But why, only my King may know!
I am the wind.
