Explore "The South Wind: A Fisherman's Blessings" by Charles Kingsley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
O blessed drums of Aldershot! / O blessed South-west train! / O blessed, blessed Speaker's clock, / All prophesying rain!
O blessed yaffil, laughing loud! / O blessed falling glass! / O blessed fan of cold gray cloud! / O blessed smelling grass!
O bless'd South wind that toots his horn / Through every hole and crack! / I'm off at eight to-morrow morn, / To bring _such_ fishes back!
Eversley, April 1, 1856.
