August
¶ In the parching August wind,
Cornfields bow the head,
Sheltered in round valley depths,
On low hills outspread.
[A Year's Windfalls, Stanza 8]
Spring
¶ Spring is when life's alive in everything.
Wind
¶ Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you.
But when the leaves hang trembling
The wind is passing through.
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I.
But when the trees down their heads.
The wind is passing by.
[The Wind]
Winter
¶ In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.
