Though by the wind made restless as the wind,
By billows fretted and by rocks confined,
So strong, so deep, so wide my love for thee.”

Around; up above, what wind-walks! what lovely behaviour
Of silk-sack clouds! has wilder, wilful-wavier
Meal-drift moulded ever and melted across skies?”

Let thine shadows upon the sundials fall,
and unleash the winds upon the open fields.”

und auf den Fluren laß die Winde los.

Wails so in winter for the summers dead,
And all sad sounds are nature's funeral cries
For what has been and is not.”
