                The north wind brings the ice and snow

                  And it makes us want to shiver.

                It bites my fingers and my toes

                  And tries to freeze the river.

                 

                The east wind has a ghostly cry

                  And blows round field and city.

                It blows the lovely blossom off

                  Which really is a pity.

                 

                The warm south wind comes blowing in

                  Across the woods and plain,

                It brings warm air to brown my skin  

                  And also ripen grain.

                 

                The westerlies will bring the rain,   

                  And make the fields so green.

                The world looks nice and fresh again

                  And lovely to be seen.
