Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH BIBI| The winds out of the west land blow | A |
| My friends have breathed them there | B |
| Warm with the blood of lads I know | A |
| Comes east the sighing air | B |
| - | |
| It fanned their temples filled their lungs | C |
| Scattered their forelocks free | D |
| My friends made words of it with tongues | C |
| That talk no more to me | D |

| Their voices dying as they fly | E |
| Thick on the wind are sown | F |
| The names of men blow soundless by | E |
| My fellows' and my own | F |
| - | |
| Oh lads at home I heard you plain | G |
| But here your speech is still | H |
| And down the sighing wind in vain | G |
| You hollo from the hill | H |
| - | |
| The wind and I we both were there | B |
| But neither long abode | I |
| Now through the friendless world we fare | B |
| And sigh upon the road | I |
