A Christmas Song
"A Christmas Song" by William Cox Bennett is a brief, wind-swept poem in which a speaker pleads with the winter wind to carry a message home to a sailor at sea. Through biting hail, sleet, and snow, the wind becomes a messenger of love and longing, its shrill moans transformed into a call urging the sailor homeward before Christmas arrives. The poem captures the ache of separation and the fragile hope that nature itself might bridge the distance between two people.
