William Wordsworth - A Whirl-Blast From Behind The Hill
Work rating: Low

A Whirl-Blast from behind the hill 
Rushed o`er the wood with startling sound; 
Then—all at once the air was still, 
And showers of hailstones pattered round. 
Where leafless oaks towered high above, 
I sat within an undergrove 
Of tallest hollies, tall and green; 
A fairer bower was never seen. 
From year to year the spacious floor 
With withered leaves is covered o`er, 
And all the year the bower is green. 
But see! where`er the hailstones drop 
The withered leaves all skip and hop; 
There`s not a breeze—no breath of air— 
Yet here, and there, and everywhere 
Along the floor, beneath the shade 
By those embowering hollies made, 
The leaves in myriads jump and spring, 
As if with pipes and music rare 
Some Robin Good-fellow were there, 
And all those leaves, in festive glee, 
Were dancing to the minstrelsy.
