"The West wind" by JohnMasefeld
It was a warm wind, da West wind, full of birds' cires;
I never hear da West wind but tears r in my eyes
4 it comes from da West lands, da old brown hills
N Aprils in da West wind, n daffodils.
It's a fine land, da West land. 4 hearts as tired as mine.
Apple orchard blossoms there, n da airs like wine.
there is cool green grass there, where men may lie at rest,
And da rhushes r in song ther, fluting from da nest.
Will ye not come home brother? Ye have been long away
Its April n blossom time, n white is da may
N bright is da Sun brotherm n warm I'd da rain
Will ye not come home, brother home 2 us again?
