THE WIND FROM THE WEST, by ELLA YOUNG
First Line: Blow high, blow low
Last Line: I loved long ago.
Subject(s): Wind
First Line: Blow high, blow low
Last Line: I loved long ago.
Subject(s): Wind
Blow high, blow low,
O wind from the west:
You come from the country
I love the best.
O say have the lilies
Yet lifted their heads
Above the lake-water
That ripples and spreads?
Do the little sedges
Still shake with delight
And whisper together
All through the night?
Have the mountains the purple
I used to love,
And peace about them,
Around and above?
O wind from the west,
Blow high, blow low,
You come from the country
I loved long ago.
