THE SUMMER WIND, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The bugling of the summer wind
Last Line: And rideth on a cloud!
Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona
Subject(s): Summer; Wind


The bugling of the summer wind
Is sweet upon the hill:
I love to hear its eddies
The heather-crannies fill.

It plays upon the bracken
A blithe fanfarronade:
And thro' the moss-cups whistleth
"The Fairy Raid."

It leaps from birch to rowan,
And laugheth long and loud,
Then with a spring is vanished,
And rideth on a cloud!
