to‑night the winds begin to rise - lennox berkeley lyrics

Loading...

to*night the winds begin to rise
and roar from yonder dropping day:
the last red leaf is whirl’d away
the rooks are blown about the skies;

the forest crack’d, the waters curl’d
the cattle huddled on the lea;
and wildly dash’d on tower and tree
the sunbeam strikes along the world:

and but for fancies, which aver
that all thy motions gently pass
athwart a plane of molten glass
i scarce could brook the strain and stir

that makes the barren branches loud;
and but for fear it is not so
the wild unrest that lives in woe
would dote and porе on yonder cloud

that rises upward always higher
and onward drags a labouring brеast
and topples round the dreary west
a looming bastion fringed with fire
