- 195: In-Just Topographical

Lending an aural push to the sixth line, little tension is attributed ... separate “and” and “wee”(13). The refrain’s final repeat has each word occupying a separate line and ends the poem. Because of the contributing white space, the gradual decrease in tempo has the aural effect, perhaps, of the speaker lulling himself to sleep.

However the physical manifestation of the wind can be felt and it s effect on nature cannot be ignored.
