Young Woman Reading by a Window by Delphin Enjolras The Wind 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 Oh wind, a blowing all day long, Oh 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 Oh wind, a blowing all day long! Oh 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! Robert Louis Stevenson (13th November 1850 - 3rd December 1894) |
