Курсовая работа: An Evergreen topic in British classical literature, children’s poems and everyday speech: patterns of climate in the British isles

Nobody knows

Where the wind comes from

Where the wind goes”

* * *

Oh, I want to know

What does the wind do?

Where does the wind go,

Mother, when it does not blow?

* * *

“What is it going to do today?

“Rain or snow?” the people say.

They look at the sky, all wooly grey,

And watch the way the wind is blowing –

And they suddenly know –

Because it’s snowing today!

* * *

Who has seen the wind?

Neither you nor I:

But when the trees bow down their heads

The wind is passing by.

Who has seen the wind?

Neither I nor you:

But when the leaves hang trembling

The wind is passing through.

* * *

The south wind brings wet together,

The north wind wet and cold together,

The west wind always brings us rain,

The east wind blows it back again.
