Who Has Seen the Wind?
A grassy hillside on a breezy day, clouds racing across the sky. A tall tree leans to one side, its leafy branches swept the same way. A girl of seven with deep brown skin and a short black afro, in a yellow raincoat and a striped scarf, runs into the wind with a red kite flying behind her. Her scarf streams out behind her, and her eyes are wide.
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
From Sing-Song by Christina Rossetti (1872) · Sing-Song: A Nursery Rhyme Book, Christina Rossetti (1872)
