Southwest wind, blow From Attenborough’s lakes Clamorous skeins across Till the starved spirit wakes!
Come from the four winds, Breath, Until my spire’s stones Cry out amongst the city’s Valleys of dry bones!
Western wind, blow And bring the soft small rain Falling warm to wed Body and soul again!
Robert Cockcroft
