    To feel thee; thou shalt kiss the child asleep,
    And dry the moistened curls that overspread
    His temples, while his breathing grows more deep.

I never hear the west wind but tears read more

It's a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds' cries;

Heed not what he says, he deceives, he deceives;

The wind is awake, pretty leave, pretty leaves,

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

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.
