Answer 1

Answer:

The wind breaks the shutters off the windows, scatters the papers, throws down the books from the shelf, tears down the pages of the book and brings rain.

The poet says the wind god winnows the weak crumbling houses, doors, rafters, wood, bodies, lives and hearts and crushes them all.

When it rains, the poet likes to lie with his head pressed against the pillow of his cottage chamber bed and listen to the sound of the soft rain.

St peter asked the lady for one of her baked cakes.

St peter punished the old lady by changing her into a woodpecker that would have to build a nest to live in and gets its food by boring the hard dry trunks of trees.
