Spirit that raises the gale on the moor, what is your name? that sifts drifted snow through the hinge of the door, what is your name'? that furls the white breakers over the shore, what is your name? that flies overhead the red banners of war, what is your name? that sighs in the forest as if to explore, what is your name? that lights sudden flame that explodes with a roar, what is your name? that pushes the clouds from behind and before, what is your name? that breathes in the life of the heart, in its core, what is your name?
