O WINDS, warm winds, Warm autumn winds, Breathe not, ye are not wanted here. But hither fly, ye stormy winds, From the northern side; Asunder rend moist mother earth, And furrowing the open field, The open, sweeping plain, Reveal to me the coffin planks, And let me for the last of times To my beloved one say farewell. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 259 by LYN HEJINIAN A FOREIGN COUNTRY by JOSEPHINE MILES THE DIAMOND PERSONA by NORMAN DUBIE IN MEMORIAM: 1933 (7.
