The storm is in the air she said and held	A
Her soft palm to the breeze and looking up	B
Swift sunbeams brush'd the crystal of her eyes	C
As swallows leave the skies to skim the brown	D
Bright woodland lakes The rain is in the air	E
O Prophet Wind what hast thou told the rose	F
That suddenly she loosens her red heart	G
And sends long perfum'd sighs about the place	H
O Prophet Wind what hast thou told the Swift	I
That from the airy eave she shadow grey	J
Smites the blue pond and speeds her glancing wing	K
Close to the daffodils What hast thou told small bells	L
And tender buds that all unlike the rose	F
They draw green leaves close close about their breasts	M
And shrink to sudden slumber The sycamores	M
In ev'ry leaf are eloquent with thee	N
The poplars busy all their silver tongues	M
With answ'ring thee and the round chestnut stirs	M
Vastly but softly at thy prophecies	M
The vines grow dusky with a deeper green	O
And with their tendrils snatch thy passing harp	P
And keep it by brief seconds in their leaves	M
O Prophet Wind thou tellest of the rain	Q
While jacinth blue the broad sky folds calm palms	M
Unwitting of all storm high o'er the land	R
The little grasses and the ruddy heath	S
Know of the coming rain but towards the sun	T
The eagle lifts his eyes and with his wings	M
Beats on a sunlight that is never marr'd	U
By cloud or mist shrieks his fierce joy to air	E
Ne'er stir'd by stormy pulse	M
The eagle mine I said O I would ride	V
His wings like Ganymede nor ever care	E
To drop upon the stormy earth again	W
But circle star ward narrowing my gyres	M
To some great planet of eternal peace	M
Nay said my wise young love the eagle falls	M
Back to his cliff swift as a thunder bolt	X
For there his mate and naked eaglets dwell	Y
And there he rends the dove and joys in all	Z
The fierce delights of his tempestuous home	A2
And tho' the stormy Earth throbs thro' her poles	M
With tempests rocks upon her circling path	B2
And bleak black clouds snatch at her purple hills	M
While mate and eaglets shriek upon the rock	C2
The eagle leaves the hylas to its calm	D2
Beats the wild storm apart that rings the earth	E2
And seeks his eyrie on the wind dash'd cliff	F2
O Prophet Wind close close the storm and rain	Q
	-
Long sway'd the grasses like a rolling wave	G2
Above an undertow the mastiff cried	V
Low swept the poplars groaning in their hearts	M
And iron footed stood the gnarl'd oaks	M
And brac'd their woody thews against the storm	H2
Lash'd from the pond the iv'ry cygnets sought	I2
The carven steps that plung'd into the pool	J2
The peacocks scream'd and dragg'd forgotten plumes	M
On the sheer turf all shadows subtly died	V
In one large shadow sweeping o'er the land	R
Bright windows in the ivy blush'd no more	K2
The ripe red walls grew pale the tall vane dim	L2
Like a swift off'ring to an angry God	M2
O'erweighted vines shook plum and apricot	N2
From trembling trellis and the rose trees pour'd	O2
A red libation of sweet ripen'd leaves	M
On the trim walks To the high dove cote set	P2
A stream of silver wings and violet breasts	M
The hawk like storm swooping on their track	Q2
Go said my love the storm would whirl me off	R2
As thistle down I'll shelter here but you	S2
You love no storms Where thou art I said	T2
Is all the calm I know wert thou enthron'd	T2
On the pivot of the winds or in the maelstrom	U2
Thou holdest in thy hand my palm of peace	M
And like the eagle I would break the belts	M
Of shouting tempests to return to thee	N
Were I above the storm on broad wings	M
Yet no she eagle thou a small white lily girl	V2
I clasp and lift and carry from the rain	Q
Across the windy lawn	W2
With this I wove	X2
Her floating lace about her floating hair	E
And crush'd her snowy raiment to my breast	T2
And while she thought of frowns but smil'd instead	T2
And wrote her heart in crimson on her cheeks	M
I bounded with her up the breezy slopes	M
The storm about us with such airy din	Y2
As of a thousand bugles that my heart	T2
Took courage in the clamor and I laid	T2
My lips upon the flow'r of her pink ear	Z2
And said I love thee give me love again	W
And here she pal'd love has its dread and then	W
She clasp'd its joy and redden'd in its light	T2
Till all the daffodils I trod were pale	A3
Beside the small flow'r red upon my breast	T2
And ere the dial on the slope was pass'd	T2
Between the last loud bugle of the Wind	T2
And the first silver coinage of the Rain	Q
Upon my flying hair there came her kiss	M
Gentle and pure upon my face and thus	M
Were we betroth'd between the Wind and Rain	Q
