14.

For these have the toil and the guerdon

That the wind has eternally: these
Have part in the boon and the burden
Of the sleepless unsatisfied breeze,
That finds not, but seeking rejoices
That possession can work him no wrong:
And the voice at the heart of their voice is
The sense of his song.

15.

For the wind's is their doom and their blessing;

To desire, and have always above
A possession beyond their possessing,
A love beyond reach of their love.
