Old winds blew
Murmuring through the leaves
Cold winds knew
Morning and eve
A frantic calm descends
To folly’s phantasmic realm
Perhaps it soon ends
Prosperity at the helm
The new wind’s rustle
Is heard in mountains far
But now these shores in stillness tell
Of images that are
Shall dreams and youthful visions
These pictures break and mar?
