South Wind And The Sun</strong></div><div style="margin:10px 0">O The South Wind and the Sun!<br>How each loved the other one<br>Full of fancy--- full folly--<br>Full of jollity and fun!<br>How they romped and ran about,<br>Like two boys when school is out,<br>With glowing face, and lisping lip,<br>Low laugh, and lifted shout!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And the South Wind-- he was dressed<br>With a ribbon round his breast<br>That floated, flapped and fluttered<br>In a riotous unrest,<br>And a drapery of mist<br>From the shoulder and the wrist<br>Flowing backward with the motion<br>Of the waving hand he kissed.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And the Sun had on a crown<br>Wrought of gilded thistle-down,<br>And a scarf of velvet vapor,<br>And a ravelled-rainbow gown;<br>And his tinsel-tangled hair,<br>Tossed and lost upon the air,<br>Was glossier and flossier<br>Than any anywhere.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And the South Wind's eyes were two<br>Little dancing drops of dew,<br>As he puffed his cheeks, and pursed his lips,<br>And blew and blew and blew!<br>And the Sun's-- like diamond-stone,<br>Brighter yet than ever known,<br>As he knit his brows and held his breath,<br>And shone and shone and shone!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And this pair of merry fays<br>Wandered through the summer days;<br>Arm-in-arm they went together<br>Over heights of morning haze--<br>Over slanting slopes of lawn<br>They went on and on and on,<br>Where the daisies looked like star-tracks<br>Trailing up and down the dawn.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And where'er they found the top<br>Of a wheat-stalk droop and lop<br>They chucked it underneath the chin<br>And praised the lavish crop,<br>Till it lifted with the pride<br>Of the heads it grew beside,<br>And then the South Wind and the Sun<br>Went onward satisfied.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Over meadow-lands they tripped,<br>Where the dandelions dipped<br>In crimson foam of clover-bloom,<br>And dripped and dripped and dripped;<br>And they clinched the bumble-stings,<br>Gauming honey on their wings,<br>And bundling them in lily-bells,<br>With maudlin murmurings.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And the humming-bird that hung<br>Like a jewel up among<br>The tilted honeysuckle-horns,<br>They mesmerized, and swung<br>In the palpitating air,<br>Drowsed with odors strange and rare,<br>And with whispered laughter, slipped away,<br>And left him hanging there.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And they braided blades of grass<br>Where the truant had to pass;<br>And they wriggled through the rushes<br>And the reeds of the morass,<br>Where they danced, in rapture sweet,<br>O'er the leaves that laid a street<br>Of undulant mosaic for<br>The touches of their feet.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">By the brook with mossy brink<br>Where the cattle came to drink.<br>They trilled and piped and whistled<br>With the thrush and bobolink,<br>Till the kine in listless pause,<br>Switched their tails in mute applause,<br>With lifted heads and dreamy eyes,<br>And bubble-dripping jaws.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And where the melons grew,<br>Streaked with yellow, green and blue<br>These jolly sprites went wandering<br>Through spangled paths of dew;<br>And the melons, here and there,<br>They made love to, everywhere<br>Turning their pink souls to crimson<br>With caresses fond and fair.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Over orchard walls they went,<br>Where the fruited boughs were bent<br>Till they brushed the sward beneath them<br>Where the shine and shadow blent;<br>And the great green pear they shook<br>Till the sallow hue forsook<br>Its features, and the gleam of gold<br>Laughed out in every look.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And they stroked the downy cheek<br>Of the peach, and smoothed it sleek,<br>And flushed it into splendor;<br>And with many an elfish freak,<br>Gave the russet's rust a wipe--<br>Prankt the rambo with a stripe,<br>And the wine-sap blushed its reddest<br>As they spanked the pippins ripe.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Through the woven ambuscade<br>That the twining vines had made,<br>They found the grapes, in clusters,<br>Drinking up the shine and shade--<br>Plumpt like tiny skins of wine,<br>With a vintage so divine<br>That the tongue of fancy tingled<br>With the tang of muscadine.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And the golden-banded bees,<br>Droning o'er the flowery leas,<br>They bridled, reigned, and rode away<br>Across the fragrant breeze,<br>Till in hollow oak and elm<br>They had groomed and stabled them<br>In waxen stalls oozed with dews<br>Of rose and lily-stem.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Where the dusty highway leads,<br>High above the wayside weeds<br>They sowed the air with butterflies<br>Like blooming flower-seeds,<br>Till the dull grasshopper sprung<br>Half a man's height up, and hung<br>Tranced in the heat, with whirring wings,<br>And sung and sung and sung!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And they loitered, hand in hand,<br>Where the snipe along the sand<br>Of the river ran to meet them<br>As the ripple meets the land,<br>Till the dragon-fly, in light<br>Gauzy armor, burnished bright,<br>Came tilting down the waters<br>In a wild, bewildered flight.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And they heard the killdee's call,<br>And afar, the waterfall,<br>But the rustle of a falling leaf<br>They heard above it all;<br>And the trailing willow crept<br>Deeper in the tide that swept<br>The leafy shallop to the shore,<br>And wept and wept and wept!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And the fairy vessel veered<br>From its moorings-- tacked and steered<br>For the centre of the current<br>Sailed away and disappeared:<br>And the burthen that it bore<br>From the long-enchanted shore--<br>'Alas! The South Wind and the Sun!'<br>I murmur evermore.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">For the South Wind and the Sun,<br>Each so loves the other one,<br>For all his jolly folly<br>And frivolity and fun,<br>That our love for them they weigh<br>As their fickle fancies may,<br>And when at last we love them most,<br>They laugh and sail away.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=James+Whitcomb+Riley">James Whitcomb Riley</a><div class=q>

How each loved the other one
Full of fancy--- full folly--
Full of jollity and fun!
How they romped and ran about,
Like two boys when school is out,
With glowing face, and lisping lip,
Low laugh, and lifted shout!
