Wind On The Hill

No one can tell me,

No one knows,

Where the wind comes from,

Where the wind goes.

It's flying from somewhere

As fast as it can,

I couldn't keep up with it,

Not if I ran.

But if I stopped holding

The string of my kite,

It would blow with the wind

For a day and a night.

And then when I found it,

Wherever it blew,

I should know that the wind

Had been going there too.

So then I could tell them

Where the wind goes...

But where the wind comes from

Nobody knows.

The poem Wind On The Hill consists of five stanzas with four verses each. Each stanza is a quatrain. In each quatrain the second and fourth verses rhyme. In the poem A.A. Wilne describes the unique phenomenon of the wind.
