"Ichot a burde in boure bryht" ('I know a lady in a bright bower'), sometimes titled, after its burden, "Blow, Northerne Wynd", is an anonymous late-13th or early-14th century Middle English lyric poem (the burden may have popular or folk origins antedating 1300).[1][2] The text forms part of the collection known as the Harley Lyrics (MS. Harley 2253, ff. 72v–73r).[1]
