TO THE SUMMER WIND, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Art thou the selfsame wind that blew
Last Line: Still wandering the world with thee?
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Wind


ART thou the selfsame wind that blew
When I was but a boy?
Thy voice is like the voice I knew,
And yet the thrill of joy
Has softened to a sadder tone --
Perchance the echo of mine own.

Beside a sea of memories
In solitude I dwell:
Upon the shore forsaken lies
Alas! no murmuring shell!
Are all the voices lost to me
Still wandering the world with thee?
