Nature

The wind comes from the west to-night

by Joseph Skipsey 1832–1903

From The Poets and the Poetry of the Century, ed. Alfred H. Miles

Nature

The wind comes from the west to-night;
So sweetly on my lips he bloweth.
My heart is thrill'd with pure delight,
From head to foot my body gloweth.
Where did the wind the magic find
To charm me thus? say, heart that knoweth!
"Within a rose on which he blows
Before upon thy lips he bloweth! "
