II. I saw you toss the kites on high
And blow the birds about the sky;
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies’ skirts across the grass—
Oh, you, a-blowing all day long,
Oh, you, that sing so loud a song!
I saw the different things you did,
But always you yourself you hid.
I felt you push, I heard you call,
I could not see yourself at all—
Oh, you, a-blowing all day long,
Oh, you, that sing so loud a song!
Oh, you that are so strong and cold,
Oh, blower, are you young or old
Are you a beast of field and tree,
Or just a stronger child than me?
Oh, you, a-blowing all day long,
Oh, you, that sing so loud a song!
~adapt from the poem by Stevenson, Robert Louis (1850-1894)
