Poet Analysis

First Line: BRING HER AGAIN, O WESTERN WIND
Last Line: WIND OF THE WESTERN SEA.

Bring her again, O western wind,
Over the western sea;
Gentle and good and fair and kind,
Bring her again to me!

Not that her fancy holds me dear,
Not that a hope may be:
Only that I may know her near,
Wind of the western sea.
