Lucy Maud Montgomery (Люси Мод Монтгомери)

The Wind

O, wind! what saw you in the South,
In lilied meadows fair and far? 
I saw a lover kiss his lass
New-won beneath the evening star. 

O, wind! what saw you in the West
Of passing sweet that wooed your stay? 
I saw a mother kneeling by
The cradle where her first-born lay. 

O, wind! what saw you in the North
That you shall dream of evermore? 
I saw a maiden keeping tryst
Upon a gray and haunted shore. 

O, wind! what saw you in the East
That still of ancient dole you croon? 
I saw a wan wreck on the waves
And a dead face beneath the moon.
