The wind strikes earth hard blows
And laughs like a buffoon.
He’ll break the leg of those
Who won’t dance to his tune.
Earth buzzes, earth’s attacked –
A dying butterfly.
The wind is raving mad,
The wind tears out earth’s eye.
Trees crash here, buildings there,
This boat’s a drop at sea.
The wild wind does not care
where city is, or sea.
(Juozas Tysliava)
