Wind Song
Language: English
O gentle south wind, Sweet child of the sun, Dear friend of the flowers And bird sheltring bowers, When twilight is done Come, sing to the weary A low drowsy song. O bluff eastern wind, Wild rover of seas, Where ever you scurry The children are merry, For up to the clouds Their kites are all lifted In fluttering crowds. O wind of the west, The fields all rejoice To hear your sweet singing, They know you are bringing A gift without price, The seedlings that follow Your loud calling voice. O jolly north wind, As soon as you blow Old Santa's preparing His reindeer for faring Abroad in the snow, Well laden with presents For children below.
