One of the first books of poetry I ever read was A Child's Garden of Verses, from which this poem came. Unfortunately, many of the poems in that book are pedantic and suffer from stifling Victorian moralizing, However, I always thought The Wind was a wonderful exception, a beautiful poem, which, when read properly, actually has the cadence and rhythm of a wind blowing one about. One of my favorite poems.
there's something very profound about this poem of RL's. It hits upon ur emotions and makes u want ot cry each time u read it. I feel it has to do with rl's unique style and the simple, plaintve themes of his poems. they always bring out the child in u transporting u to the past and the subconscious memories that lie therein. a desperate craving for the past is the hallmark of all his poems. and his rhyme scheme is such that passions erupt within u like a volcano.
