The Wind is cast in a form "freedom and autonomy for the mankind from the laws of governing society”.


This political aspect of the poem is particularly apparent in lines: …though you winnow leaves no one indicts you, you are not restrained by any swift troop, nor officer's hand nor blue blade.


This has been interpreted as an implicit comparison with the king's official messengers, who were immune from legal consequences should they trample their way through standing crops in the line of duty.


Andrew Breeze finds in these same lines a reminder that Dafydd was living in a land occupied by foreigners and wants freedom of mankind.


On the other hand, for Anthony Conran the freedom celebrated in the poem is an essentially personal freedom only. The poem being "the paradoxical fantasy of a frustration that would speak through an uncontrollable freedom" of mankind.
