The Answering Voice: One Hundred Love Lyrics by Women. 1917.

I Am the Wind

Zoë Akins

I AM the wind that wavers,

You are the certain land;

I am the shadow that passes

Over the sand.

I am the leaf that quivers,

You—the unshaken tree;

You are the stars that are steadfast,

I am the sea.

You are the light eternal,

Like a torch I shall die….

You are the surge of deep music.

I—but a cry!
