1. The wind blew stronger still
Madness in the wind is wisdom's guide

2. A gifted man controls it
His chant restrains the storm's wild ride

3. As if cradled in his palms
A glowing ember he applied

4. When toward it his hand he put
It blazed his arms along each side

5. The atmosphere was charged and thick
Alas the sun dipped from the west

6. As if it were a gilded jug
Inlaid with gemstones of the best
