An English Breeze Poem by Robert Louis Stevenson

An English Breeze

Rating: 2.5


UP with the sun, the breeze arose,
Across the talking corn she goes,
And smooth she rustles far and wide
Through all the voiceful countryside.

Through all the land her tale she tells;
She spins, she tosses, she compels
The kites, the clouds, the windmill sails
And all the trees in all the dales.

God calls us, and the day prepares
With nimble, gay and gracious airs:
And from Penzance to Maidenhead
The roads last night He watered.

God calls us from inglorious ease,
Forth and to travel with the breeze
While, swift and singing, smooth and strong
She gallops by the fields along.

I liked reading this one, it in its plain verse is so truly lyrical like poems of that time that it is almost second nature for it to be sung, and the more hearty bands of today should do it much more.
