At daybreak a wind rises up from the sea. It gracefully takes up the duty of the messenger of dawn. On this mission, it starts its journey towards the land. The sea is still in its slumber of mist. So the wind first tells the veil of mists to make room for it so that it can freely move on. It then sees the ships anchored and calls the mariners to set sail as the night is over. It blows over the lands and calls all to arise and awake. It calls the forests to rustle in the wind and unfurl their branches and leaves fully and freely. It tenderly touches the folded wings of the wood bird and inspires it to get up and start singing merrily. While blowing over the farm, the wind prompts the house cock to blow its clarion and announce the daybreak. The wind visits the fields of corn and whispers to them to bow down and salute the coming morning. It then urges the church bell to ring and proclaim the sunrise. Finally as the wind blows over the graveyard, it heaves a sigh of grief for the dead lying buried in the graves. The wind does not want to disturb their sleep and so it says that they should not be awakened as the time has not yet come.
