Poetry Friday: Who Has Seen the Wind
September 18, 2009 at 1:00 am 3 comments
There have been lovely windy, late-summer days all week long. I can almost see the warmth blowing away a little bit more each day. I’ve always loved this little poem by Christina Rossetti:
Who Has Seen the Wind
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.

Oh I had that poem in my poetry notebook when I was in junior high. Thanks for the memory.

I love this. So simple and yet suggests the gentleness and the powerfulness of this invisible thing, the wind. Implications are enormous. Thank you! Melissa
