words and music by Caroline Mallonée

I.  The Easterly Wind


Sweet whispers of an eastern wind

One blade of grass bows.


II.The Northerly Wind


Panes of glass rattle in the icy and cruel wind of the North.


III.  The Southerly Wind


Leaves dance in the Southerly wind

with the rhythm of their shadows.


IV.  The Westerly Wind


Strong as an axeman, and as resolute,

The Western wind shakes the branches of trees

Until they crack.
