Explore "What the Wind Said" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
'I muse to-day, in a listless way, / In the gleam of a summer land; / I close my eyes as a lover may / At the touch of his sweetheart's hand, / And I hear these things in the whisperings / Of the zephyrs round me fanned': --
I am the Wind, and I rule mankind, / And I hold a sovereign reign / Over the lands, as God designed, / And the waters they contain: / Lo! the bound of the wide world round / Falleth in my domain!
