Out of the South Blew a Wind
Language: English
Out of the South blew a soft sweet wind; Ooh…. And on its breath was a song Of fields and flow’rs and leafy bow’rs And bees that hum all day long. Out from the South blew a soft low wind; Ooh…. On its wings was the joy of a dream And it hovered so near I was sure I could hear The call of the woodland stream. Out of the South blew a soft sweet wind And on its breath was a song.
