the wind going in quest of the lily-seed
In William Morris’s poem "The Wind" (from The Defence of Guenevere, and Other Poems, 1858), the ‘burden’, repeated ten times at irregular intervals, runs as follows:
   Wind, wind! thou art sad, art thou kind?
   Wind, wind, unhappy! thou art blind,
   Yet still thou wanderest the lily-seed to find.
