Who Has Seen the Wind?

by Christina Rosseetti*

Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.

*Christina Rosseetti (1830 - 1894), was an English poet who wrote a variety of romantic, devotional, and children's poems.
