The unknown wind
Language: English
When the day darkens, When dusk grows light, When the dew is falling, When Silence dreams.... I hear a wind Calling, calling By day and by night. What is the wind That I hear calling By day and by night, The crying of wind? When the day darkens, When dusk grows light, When the dew is falling?
Author's note: "There is a wind that has no name." (Gaelic Saying.)
