Harp of the Winds
The Winds have come, the Winds have come, Where the great Pine waits them, tranquil, dnmbl He feels the beat of their mighty wings, And the heart within Mm leaps, and sings! Underneath the snow his harpstrings sleep, But he casts it off, as the strong Winds sweep In from the vast of their wanderings. To wake the voice of those splendid strings!
The Song begins, the Song begins! Swift to a fuller chord it wins, Rising and falling, rich and deqp, A cadence to lull a child to sleep, A diapason such as might Soar to some lofty minster’s
height, So grave and gracious, so sweet
and strong, The Harp of the Wind 3 pours forth its song!
—Minnie Leona Upton.
