English poem
What the Winds Bring
by Edmund Clarence Stedman (1833–1908)
Which is the Wind that brings the cold? The North-Wind, Freddy, and all the snow; And the sheep will scamper into the fold When the North begins to blow.
Which is the Wind that brings the heat? The South-Wind, Katy; and corn will grow, And peaches redden for you to eat, When the South begins to blow.
Which is the Wind that brings the rain? The East-Wind, Arty; and farmers know The cows come shivering up the lane, When the East begins to blow.
Which is the Wind that brings the flowers? The West-Wind, Bessy; and soft and low The birdies sing in the summer hours, When the West begins to blow.
