The Wind did'nt come from the Orchard -- today --
Further than that --
Nor stop to play with the Hay --
Nor joggle[^a1]threaten a Hat --
He's a transitive fellow -- very --
Rely on that --

[^a1: joggle | joggle]

If He leave a Bur at the door
We know He has climbed a Fir --
But the Fir is Where -- Declare --
Were you ever there?

If He bring Odors of Clovers --
And that is His business -- not Our's --
Then He has been with the Mowers --
Whetting away the Hours
To sweet pauses of Hay --
His Way -- of a June Day

If He fling Sand, and Pebble --
Little Boys Hats -- and Stubble --
With an occasional Steeple --
And a hoarse "Get out of the way, I say,"
Who'd be the fool to stay?
Would you -- Say --
Would you be the fool to stay?
