"Ode to the West Wind" shows us the power of the wind which brings a change in the natural world. Similarly, the poet wishes for reform in society. Throughout the poem, the West Wind has been a force of destruction and death. But the speaker has celebrated its power. In the last line, it becomes clear why.
