The Norland Wind.
The south wind on the hill1
And the west wind on the lea—2
But better than these I love3
The north wind on the sea.4
For the north wind on the sea5
Is fearless and elate ;6
The ocean, vast and free,7
Is not more great.8
On the hill the south wind laughs9
Where the blue cloud-shadows flee ;10
The west wind takes the mead11
With a ripple of glee ;12
But the north wind on the deep13
Is the wind of winds for me ;—14
Spirit of dauntless life,15
And Lord of Liberty !16
