"The hot winds wake to life in the sweet daytime"

The hot winds wake to life in the sweet daytime
My weary limbs,
And tear through all the moonlit darkness shouting
Tremendous hymns.
My body keeps earth's law and goes exulting.
Poor slavish thing!
The soul that knows you dead rejects in silence
This riotous spring.
