Wind Song
Nora Hopper Chesson
1871 to 1906
Blow, blow, winds blow, braggart winds and merry —
Blow down the almond snow, toss the flowering cherry,
Daffodils ablow, arow mingle in their dances,
Shake the purple flags that grow tall amid their lances.
Blow, O winds blow, strip the winter-berry!
Far and near, push and peer, here's a nest a-growing —
Winds merry, winds dear, hush here your blowing!
Trouble not the mother-wren when she comes and goes,
Dreaming of the wings and songs that her secret knows —
Soft here, winds dear, where the nests are showing.
Blow, blow loud and low, wild winds and merry,
Hurtling down upon our heads bring a snow of cherry.
Bring the yellow kingcups out in the flowerless places,
Set the naked woods aflush with the wind-flowers' faces.
Make the old briar run with sap ready for the berry,
Bring the swallows, April follows, wild winds and merry.
