The West Wind by John Masefield (An excerpt)

It’s a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds’


cries; I never hear the west wind but tears are
in my eyes.

For it comes from the west lands, the old brown


hills, And April’s in the west wind, and daffodils.

It’s a fine land, the west land, for hearts as tired as


mine; Apple orchards blossom there, and the air’s
like wine.

There is cool green grass there where men may lie at


rest; And the thrushes are in song there, fluting from
their nest…
