Wind

Oh howling moaning whispering wind
What does thou do in moonless night
While stars are blinking in sadness
And nothing else is there in sight
Thou stir branches of willow tree
That stood in heart of meadow right 


Whom lost thou in this waning moon
For whom thou roam in hamlet's lane
Why knock thou doors in horrid night 
Why waste thou thy time all in vain

Oh wind thou go in far off vale 
Where beechen trees are evergreen
Where leaves float in air like ships 
Where eyes are dipped in heavens scene


Go thou to land of mirth and Glee
Oh go and kiss the setting sun
While sky and earth are dipped in dew
In meadow children play and run

Thou filled with hues of life and death
Thou in thy family only one



Thy lineage, all thy family tree
Hath no one which is there like thou
Thou art the friend of moonless night 
Thou art the charm of moonless glow


All lonesome hearts who smile with thee
For them thou art a friend unique
Oh come in thy own ancient garb 
In Davids court thee widows seek



Oh harp of ancient far off woods
Oh flute of lonesome grove of trees

Go heal the wounds of burning hearts
Thou soothing lass thou darkling breeze
