The Wind
Be very polite to the Wind, my child,
For the Wind' s a fellow both wise and wild.
A tramp, he travels from town to town
With his bag of tricks, like a circus clown.
He never rests; he never tires;
He blows on grass blades and gilded
spires,
On tasseled corn and fields of wheat,
And the skirts of the farmer' s wife so neat.
If you chance to meet him, always say,
“Wind, are you feeling well today? ”
And be sure you lift the cap from your head,
Or the Wind may do it himself, instead!
