Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP; KINDNESS;

I WHO have loved the wind,
Out on the wind I go—
Swept by its great unrest
Into a peace unguessed,
I who have loved the wind
Find it forever kind.

I who have loved the rain,
Down with the rain I go—
Deep in the sweet, brown earth,
Quick with the pulse of birth,
I who have loved the rain
Press its cool lips again.

I who have loved the sun,
Round with the sun I go—
Pass as the ages pass,
Breaths on a clearing glass,
I who have loved the sun
Follow a day that's done.
