Siegfried Sassoon - South WindSiegfried Sassoon - South Wind
Work rating: Low


Where have you been, South Wind, this May-day morning,—   With larks aloft, or skimming with the swallow,   Or with blackbirds in a green, sun-glinted thicket?     Oh, I heard you like a tyrant in the valley;   Your ruffian haste shook the young, blossoming orchards; You clapped rude hands, hallooing round the chimney,   And white your pennons streamed along the river.     You have robbed the bee, South Wind, in your adventure,   Blustering with gentle flowers; but I forgave you   When you stole to me shyly with scent of hawthorn.
