Most of the texts I've chosen were poems before music was put to them by a later artist... the poem by RMW was set to music by Cyril Meir Scott, here is the original poem included with the music score: http://en.instr.scorser.com/D/667909.html. Finding the music played is problematic on the web... some is popular and available, most are not apparently.
https://www.cyrilscott.net/cyrilscot...et-philosopherQuote:
Scott’s verse is intensely romantic, one of his favourite poets being Ernest Dowson (1867-1900), many of whose poems he set to music. What he said of Dowson could apply equally well to his own verse: “Although passion is not missing from some of Dowson’s lyrics, it is always enshrouded in an atmosphere of roses and violets, of softness and shadows”.
A sample of CS's music... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7hconIT-XM

"In the third month of autumn it blows down the leaves,". "Wind" by Li Qiao
http://chinese-poems.com/lq1.html
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_poetry
Perhaps a metaphor of 'wind'? or possibly a misinterpretation?: "On the river, waves of a thousand feet,". Couldn't find Li Qiao in the wiki (found him here: https://www.cn-poetry.com/liqiao-poems/ ), but enjoyed the colorful and sometimes tragic history of poetry in China :)
A poem alluding to a Robin's song:
"Redbreast, early in the morning" - Emily Brontë; Redbreast, Early in the morning... https://www.poetrynook.com/poem/redbreast-early-morning
I don't think it is a misinterpretation. The high waves like the rest seem to be caused by the wind.
