Who has seen the wind?







                Recitation Skills


          Who has seen the wind?


          Neither I nor you.

          But when the leaves hang trembling,

          The wind is passing through.





          Who has seen the wind?

          Neither you nor I.

          But when the trees bow down their heads,

          The wind is passing by.               Who bow their heads?

            – Christina G. Rossetti

          trembling: shaking
