CHILDREN OF THE SUN: 21 by WALLACE GOULD

First Line: ACROSS THE HEIGHTS THE JUNE WINDS RACING, UNHINDERED
Last Line: PERHAPS TO JOIN THE WINDS OF OTHER SUMMITS --
Subject(s): CHILDREN; SUN; CHILDHOOD;
across the heights the June winds racing, unhindered;
whistling through the ripening grasses, in whims,
and around the rambling wall of rounded rocks, at will,
and forever rumbling in my ears;
rushing over the summit-fields
and somewhere away
and away
and away
into the fearful space of the valley
and somewhere afar
and afar
and afar,
perhaps to join the winds of other summits --
