The Four Winds

I am the winter, the snow, the north,
I am the mischief of forming frost.
I am the falling snow, ever thrilling,
I am the wind that brings the chilling.

I am the spring, the flowers, the west,
I am the wonder of growing trees.
I am the sound of birds, ever crooning,
I am the wind that brings the blooming.

I am the summer, the heat, the south,
I am the peace of windless plains.
I am the gentle sun, ever charming,
I am the wind that brings the calming.

I am the autumn, the browning, the east,
I am the crackle of fallen leaves.
I am the singing of wind, ever calling,
I am the wind that brings the falling.
