Said the wind to the sun, 'I can carry off kites

Rattle the windows and ruffle the ocean.'

Ice into water and grass into hay.
I can paint rainbows and freckles on noses.'

Said the wind to the sun, 'You'll be sorry you spoke.

And the old sun grinned
At the wild winter wind.

At the wild winter wind.
