The Wind.
The Wind that made tho meadows dance
d Came whistling through the glade,
And all the little birch trees laughed
And twinkled In the shade;
He tossed d red leaf In my hair,
Caressed eacl, slim young tree,
And left the garden all agog,
with gay expectancy
To-day the Wind came back again
He marched like men at war,
And dust and leaves and frightened bros
Came hurrying before;
He tramped the meadows under foot
He whipped the trees to shreds
q And OH. tile havoc that he wrought
Among my garden beds!
Next time the Wind concentrating by
So airily polite
Iii run and tell my lady trees
x no Bind their tresses tight;
Il I'll send a warning to the brook,
I'll bid the rain-crow shout,
q And every garden sentinel
n n Shall hang storn-signals out!
