The poem
Who has seen the wind? Neither I nor you. But when the leaves hang trembling, The wind is passing through. 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?

I first read this exquisite poem when I was five, in grade school, and loved the simple rhythm because I was, then, a child. Now, in reading it at the age of 43, I realize that there was infinite beauty and wisdom in the simple phrases. Rossetti's words speak of faith, and of God, and of the transcendent reality of those things we cannot see, but which exist all the same.
It is a prayer, fashioned for a child, understood by the mature mind.
