A WINDY NIGHT

The rain is done; and a great wind,

Filling the hollow night,

He shouts like a boy in an archway

And whistles with all his might.

He has blown the sky empty,

Except for the little stout

Stars, and they are flickering

As if they might go out.

All the black trees are crying;

The night is full of noise;

They are shouting under the arch of heaven

Like a school of rowdy boys.
