Poem?


I had never seen this mini-series until the weekend when I purchased it and i love it!!!!

What i was wondering is the beginning of each episode we see a field and storm clouds and a male voice narrating the same thing which ends with 'against the wind'.

Is this an actual poem or something done just for the series? if an actual poem, would anyone know the name and author?

thanks!!!

**I found enlightenment! It was behind the sofa!!!!**

from the beginning of the Richard Butler book "Against the Wind"

"Yet, Freedom! yet thy banner, torn but flying,
Streams like the thunder-storm, against the wind!"

George Gordon, Lord Byron:
Childe Harold's Pilgrimmage, Canto IV.

didn't see an answer so hope this helps,

It's from Byron's "Ode to Liberty" apparently.
