Sonnet: The Wind

What shakes the trees so violently? ’Tis Wind; What moves the clouds hither/ thither? ’Tis Wind; What takes the tornado around? ’Tis Wind; What brings the sandstorm on the earth? ’Tis Wind. What makes the cool and gentle breeze? ’Tis Wind What makes the boughs and leaves to dance? ’Tis Wind; What makes the autumn leaves to fall? ’Tis Wind; What makes the honey-bees to fly? ’Tis Wind. What makes pollen reach in showers? ’Tis Wind; What makes the dust to climb towers? ’Tis Wind; What spreads the perfume of flowers? ’Tis Wind; What makes the rain-clouds advance far? ’Tis Wind. What makes the Wind to blow? ’Tis God; What makes a Tempest stop? ’ Tis our Lord. 7-18-2001
