Explore "The Wind" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I saw you toss the kites on high / And blow the birds about the sky; / And all around I heard you pass, / Like ladies' skirts across the grass -- / O wind, a-blowing all day long! / O wind, that sings so loud a song!
I saw the different things you did, / But always you yourself you hid.
I felt you push, I heard you call, / I could not see yourself at all -- / O wind, a-blowing all day long, / O wind, that sings so loud a song!
O you that are so strong and cold, / O blower, are you young or old? / Are you a beast of field and tree, / Or just a stronger child than me? / O wind, a-blowing all day long, / O wind, that sings so loud a song!
