To the Western Wind


Sweet western wind, whose luck it is,
...Made rival with the air,
To give Perenna's lip a kiss,
...And fan her wanton hair:

Bring me but one, I'll promise thee,
...Instead of common showers,
Thy wings shall be embalm'd by me,
...And all beset with flowers.

Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
