As wc sing the second' stanza the Wind brushes lightlj-thc sides of 

 our bodies and our wet legs and feet, ^\"\\h the thii-d stanza the Wind 

 circles about, touching us hei'e ami there. When we sing the fourth 

 stanza the Wind completely envelops tis, touching all jjarts of our 

 bodies. Now, we are ready to move forward in safety. No liarni 

 will follow (uir iiassage of the river and we can pursue our journey. 



Whenever, as we travel, wc have to cross a rivei- we must sing this 

 song to the Wind to come and dry our bodies before we can continue 

 our journey.
