    I pack up my rucksack and quickly I go
    To the huge, towering oak tree, in the field by the woods,
    Where nobody says that I shouldn’t or should.

    The Wind is such a strange and amazing being –
    It has no legs, yet it travels far and wide.

    Swirls across sandy deserts and sweeps over the sea side.
