ADDRESS
TO
THE
WINDS
.
SUPPOSED
TO
BE
WRITTEN
BY
A
LADY
DURING
THE
ABSENCE
OF
HER
LOVER
.
TO
MISS
MUNROE
.
YE
ruthless
winds
,
whose
boist'rous
sweep
Awakes
to
rage
the
boiling
deep
;
Who
mock
the
seaman's
fruitless
toil
,
And
Ocean
glut
with
frequent
spoil
;
To
me
restore
the
favour'd
youth
,
Who
,
kneeling
,
vow'd
eternal
truth
;
Whose
tender
tale
,
devoid
of
art
,
Has
charm'd
my
soul
,
and
won
my
heart
;
O!
swift
from
India's
venal
strand
,
Conduct
him
to
his
native
land
;
His
wealth
to
you
I
here
resign
,
His
tender
heart
alone
be
mine
.
