<td align="left"><p>Comes the north wind, snowflakes bringing:<br/>
Robes the fields in purest white,<br/>
Paints grand houses, trees, and mountains<br/>
On our window-panes at night.</p>
<p>Hills and vales the east wind visits,<br/>
Brings them chilly, driving rain;<br/>
Shivering cattle homeward hurry,<br/>
Onward through the darkening lane.</p>
<p>Heat the south wind kindly gives us;<br/>
Reddens apples, gilds the pear,<br/>
Gives the grape a richer purple,<br/>
Scatters plenty everywhere.</p>

<p>Flowers sweet the west wind offers,<br/>
Peeping forth from vines and trees;<br/>
Brings the butterflies so brilliant,<br/>
And the busy, humming bees.</p>
<p>Each wind brings his own best treasure<br/>
To our land from year to year;<br/>
Blessings many without measure<br/>
E'er attend the winds' career.</p>
