About the poem :
In this poem wind address mists, sailors, land ward, forest, wood -birds, belfry -tower, and the dead persons.
In the first stanza we come to know that the wind that comes out of the sea . It says the mists to make place for it. Later it greets the ship and wakes up the mariners and says them that night has been gone. And even to the part of the land it says that ships are going and day is going to rise.
In the next stanza poet awakes the forest and shout at them that all the trees have to hang out their leaves like the banners are hang out. It touches the wings of wood -birds, who were sleeping by folder wings. And then it flies over the farms and wakes up the cocks.
In the next stanza wind addresses the fields of corn that they have to bow down and moves with the wind. At last it addresseds to the dead in their graves telling them sadly, that their hour for reawakening has not yet arrived as they must wait till the day of judgment.
Thank you.
