THE WIND AND IT WAS WINDY WEATHER, by JAMES STEPHENS Poet's Biography First Line: Now the winds are riding by Last Line: All the freedom of the sky! Variant Title(s): And It Was Windy Weather Subject(s): Flight; Wind; Flying | |||
Now the winds are riding by; Clouds are galloping the sky; Bush and tree are lashing bare, Savage boughs on savage air! Crying, as they lash and sway, -- Pull the roots out of the clay! Lift away: away: Away! Leave security, and speed From the root, the mud, the mead! Into sea, and air, we go! To chase the gull! the Moon! and know, -- Flying high! Flying high! -- All the freedom of the sky! All the freedom of the sky! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SOMETHING CHILDISH, BUT VERY NATURAL; WRITTEN IN GERMANY by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE NIGHT SONG OF THE PERSONAL SHADOW by GYORGY PETRI THE HAWAIIAN FLIGHT SQUADRON by CHARLOTTE LOUISE BERTLESEN INSPIRATION by GRACE HOLBROOK BLOOD MONHEGAN GULLS by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
