The North-West wind!

Free as he goes, how brave he shows,

The sun seems blind!

The shadows fleet upon the grass

Where the kestrels hover—

Before they shroud my lover!

Half-naked now, confronting cold,

The tall trees shiver,

Each with its pool of pallid gold

Draining down to the river.

'Tis now when fret of winter wet
