«And now, when comes the calm mild day, as still such days will come,To call the squirrel and the bee from out their winter home;When the sound of dropping nuts is heard, though all the trees are still,And twinkle in the smoky light the waters of the rill,The south wind searches for the flowers whose fragrance late he bore,And sighs to find them in the wood and by the stream no more.»
«Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.»
«And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.»
«Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? / Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? / How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? / Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? / Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.»
«And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli: / Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.»
«Our murder has been done three days ago,/ The frost is over and done, the south wind laughs, / And, to the very tiles of each red roof/ A-smoke i' the sunshine, Rome lies gold and glad.»
