Robert Louis Stevenson (18501894)Windy Nights
W
Whenever the wind is high,
All night long in the dark and wet
A man goes riding by
Late in the night when the fires are out,
Why does he gallop and gallop about?
And ships are tossed at sea,
By, on the highway, low and loud,
By at the gallop goes he.
By at the gallop he goes, and then
By he comes back at the gallop again.
