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.
Twist me a crown of wind-flowers;
That I may fly away
To hear the singers at their song,
