Welcome to the wandering east wind from your direction,
Welcome, O morning wind, from your quarters,
and to the familiar renewal of its bounty.
And the care we know that tends its journey long,

It dictated remembrance of you to the frowning flowers,
I dictated to the bud bedecked your memory,
until they smiled, laughing at its words.
Until it smiled and laughed at what she told.
