To The Wind An Appeal.

Oh! speedy wind, you are an aggressor You uprooted the trees, and my garden Where I have a loss of my precious labor You destroyed the valuable plantain garden Which I gave water and manure and life I expected your coming and precautions planned But you came early without a warning In the evening time without a caution call You traveled in your own style and ways On the way my garden is destroyed On the way my neighbor's thatched roof is thrown Oh! speedy wind you are a cheat and cruel What prompted you to do the damage To a poor family finding their bread In gardens and fruit bearing trees by hard work.
