The Message Of The Wind Poem by Harriet Monroe

The Message Of The Wind

Rating: 3.1


The wind comes riding down from heaven.
Ho! wind of heaven, what do you bring?
Cool for the dawn, dew for the even,
And every sweetest thing.
O wind of heaven, from pink clouds driven,
What do you bring to me?
The low call of thy love who waits
Under the willow tree,
Whose boat upon the water waits
For me, for thee.

The wind comes riding down from heaven. Ho! wind of heaven, what do you bring? Cool for the dawn, dew for the even, And every sweetest thing. O wind of heaven, from pink clouds driven, What do you bring to me? The low call of thy love who waits Under the willow tree, Whose boat upon the water waits For me, for thee. - - ITALIAN TRANSLATION: Il vento scende cavalcando giù dal cielo. Oh! vento del cielo, che cosa porti? Fresco per l'alba, rugiada per la sera, E tutte le cose più dolci. O vento del cielo, guidato da nuvole rosa, Che cosa mi porti? Il sommesso richiamo del tuo amore che attende Sotto il salice, E la cui barca in acqua sta aspettando Per me, per te.
