THE WIND by BURGES JOHNSON

First Line: THE WIND IT RUSHES IN AND OUT
Last Line: "IN WHISPERS, ""THERE IT GOES!"
Subject(s): CHILDREN; WIND; CHILDHOOD;

The wind it rushes in and out
An' makes a great to-do,
An' little leaves leap all about
To tell you where it blew.

Whenever it goes racing by
It pulls my clothes and hair;
Some places it will sing or sigh,
But no one sees it there!

The trees are p'raps the only thing
That @3see@1 it as it blows,
For they all lean, an' point, an' sing
In whispers, "There it goes!"
