HOT NORTH WIND - ZaunköniG - 09.08.2014 HOT NORTH WIND DOWN from the north a wind like rolling thunder Comes with a haze of dust along the sky, The trees are bent, their branches torn asunder Like straining wings that battle as they fly, Or men stooped forward as in act to run ; The tongues of flame that lick the panting earth Scorch with the double fire of wind and sun ; The grass is withered by the parching dearth, And heaps of flowers now devoid of scent Lie scattered in the ruin of the day ; All nature fails ; the very streams are spent To sate the thirsting wind, whose burning sway Wrecks the thick breathing earth that lately was Robed in a waving garment of young grass. |
