I saw you toss the kites on high
And blow the birds about the sky;
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies' skirts across the grass—
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
I saw the different things you did,
But always you yourself you hid.
I felt you push, I heard you call,
I could not see yourself at all—
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
O you that are so strong and cold,
O blower, are you young or old?
Are you a beast of field and tree,
Or just a stronger child than me?
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!

I learned this poem when I was in kindergarten and still remember every word almost 50 years later. I love it. -
excellent
I think this is excellent for this and I love the rhyming in this. I believe this poem has very good possibilities. I think this poem is a couplet and I think that I should read more of old poetry to learn from these poets. -
