A Poem by Thayne Whipple
The Wind - part two
Jul 16, 2015
Oh hind'ring wind, my way you slow;
The papers off my desk do blow.
The leaves from off my trees you tear,
And then you leave without a care.
The papers off my desk do blow.
The leaves from off my trees you tear,
And then you leave without a care.
Oh awful wind, the storm you bring;
With raindrops soak, with hail sting.
The birds you drive out of the sky.
The fragile land you set awry.
With raindrops soak, with hail sting.
The birds you drive out of the sky.
The fragile land you set awry.
Oh horrid wind of days of old;
Thou courier of sleet and cold.
Through flesh and bones you drive the chill.
I plead that thou would now be still.
Thou courier of sleet and cold.
Through flesh and bones you drive the chill.
I plead that thou would now be still.
Oh vicious wind, at breakneck speed
To lands and homes you give no heed.
And when you're done, a ruin leave,
That we alone and homeless grieve.
To lands and homes you give no heed.
And when you're done, a ruin leave,
That we alone and homeless grieve.
