To the Fall Wind

by John Vance Cheney

John Vance Cheney

That I might borrow your voice, Fall Wind,

To utter the sorrow of human kind;

To speak for speechless tears,

For the hopes and fears

Of the weariful years!

That you might lend me your voice, Fall Wind,

To tell of the sorrow of human kind;

Fall Wind, your voice to grieve

For the hopes that deceive

And the hearts that believe!
