O Wind of God + 

O wind of God, that blowest in the mind, + 

Blow, blow and wake the gentle spring in me; + 

Blow, swifter blow, a strong warm summer wind, + 

Till all the flowers with eyes come out to see; + 

Blow till the fruit hangs red on every tree, + 

And our high-soaring song-larks meet thy dove⁠— + 

High the imperfect soars, descends the perfect love! + 

Blow not the less though winter cometh then; + 

Blow, wind of God, blow hither changes keen; + 

Let the spring creep into the ground again, + 

The flowers close all their eyes and not be seen: + 

All lives in thee that ever once hath been! + 

Blow, fill my upper air with icy storms; + 

Breathe cold, O wind of God, and kill my cankerworms. + 
