TO THE WIND
Reading edition
Strong, powerful Sweetheart-Wind, In tireless love-storm surging; Great, bold, tempestuous Wind, Ever thy passion urging.
Hold me close in thine arms, O! strengthening ecstasy: Wild, sweet, capturing arms— Love! I am yearning for thee.
Eyes, hair, bosom caress, My rowan-red lips now kiss; Life-giving, wilful caress, O! marvellous moorland bliss.
Great, strong lover o' mine, I long for thy grand embrace; Fierce, brave lover o' mine, I yield to thee my heart's grace.
