Notes: "The Wind" is one of eleven songs for children in a book called "Come and sing with me" by Grace Reese Everson, published by Luckhardt & Belder in 1914. It was then published as one of twenty-six songs for children in a book called "Come Sing with Me" by Grace Reese Everson, Oliver Ditson Co., 1922. In a 1922-1923 advertisement, it states: "'The songs in this book are not new and untried. In mss. and in an earlier printed form, they have been pleasurably used in the Kindergartens and primary grade rooms of Pittsburgh, and by reason of their genuine merit have gradually gained favor in larger circles. In their new form...it may be confidently expected that their attractive qualities will gain equal favor for them in a greatly extended field.'–Will Earhart, Supervisor of Music, Pittsburgh, Pa."
