What shakes the trees so violently? ’Tis Wind; <br />What moves the clouds hither/ thither? ’Tis Wind; <br />What takes the tornado around? ’Tis Wind; <br />What brings the sandstorm on the earth? ’Tis Wind. <br /> <br />What makes the cool and gentle breeze? ’Tis Wind <br />What makes the boughs and leaves to dance? ’Tis Wind; <br />What makes the autumn leaves to fall? ’Tis Wind; <br />What makes the honey-bees to fly? ’Tis Wind. <br /> <br />What makes pollen reach in showers? ’Tis Wind; <br />What makes the dust to climb towers? ’Tis Wind; <br />What spreads the perfume of flowers? ’Tis Wind; <br />What makes the rain-clouds advance far? ’Tis Wind. <br /> <br />What makes the Wind to blow? ’Tis God; <br />What makes a Tempest stop? ’ Tis our Lord. <br /> <br /> 7-18-2001<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-the-wind/
