John Masefield (1878 - 1967) was born in England. Early on, Masefield embarked on a wandering life which took him to America. Before he reached his twentieth birthday he retired to England with a wealth of experience of people, places and life on the sea. He worked for some time for a newspaper, and in 1902 he began to write poems and stories. John became an internationally successful lecturer and was appointed as England’s poet laureate, a position he held for nearly forty years. He actively wrote and published until he was 88 years old.
In this poem, the poet describes with very poetic imagery of birds, how the west wind is different from other winds’ It’s a warm wind, full of bird’s cries….The voices seem to presume that the poet’s heart is sorrowful, bruised and sore. The poet is reminded of his homeland when he hears the west wind blowing. The west wind brings back memories of the beauties of nature, and seems to speak to him, calling him ‘brother’, to entice him home. The message is one which can be understood by any one who has been away from home for a long time.
