I saw you toss the kites on high and below the birds about the sky;

And all around I heard you pass, Like lady’s skirts across the grass——- o wind-a-blowing all day long,

O wind, that sings so loud a song !

I saw the different things you did, but always you yourself you hide. I felt you push, I heard you call,

I could not see yourself at all——

O wind, a blowing all day long,

O wind, that sings so loud a song !
