It's a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds' cries;
I never hear the west wind but tears more

It's a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds' cries;
I never hear the west wind but tears are in my eyes.
For it comes from the west lands, the old brown hills,
And April's in the West wind, and daffodils.

Perhaps the wind
Wails so in winter for the summer's dead,
And all sad sounds are nature's more

Perhaps the wind
Wails so in winter for the summer's dead,
And all sad sounds are nature's funeral cries
For what has been and is not.

out in the awful storm!

The wind, the wandering wind
Of the golden summer eyes--
Whence is the thrilling magic

The wind, the wandering wind
Of the golden summer eyes--
Whence is the thrilling magic
Of its tunes amongst the leaves?
Oh, is it from the waters,
Or from the long, tall grass?
Or is it from the hollow rocks
Through which its breathings pass?

I hear the wind among the trees
Playing the celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,

I hear the wind among the trees
Playing the celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,
Like keys of some great instrument.

I listen, and it cheers me long.

The winds that never moderation knew,
Afraid to blow too much, too faintly blew;
Or out of more

The winds that never moderation knew,
Afraid to blow too much, too faintly blew;
Or out of breath with joy, could not enlarge
Their straighten'd lungs or conscious of their charge.
