The poet uses personification by describing the wind as "cloudless" and capable of tearing off a "husky rind." The wind is also described as "blowing feathered seeds," which creates an image of lightness and delicacy. The phrase "sun-baked, sheltering wall" is a metaphor for a protective barrier. These figurative language techniques give the stanza a vivid and descriptive quality.
