By the Voice in the corries When the Polestar danceth: By the Voice on the summits The dead feet know: By the soft wet cry When the Heat-star troubleth: By the plaining and moaning Of the Sigh of the Rainbows: By the four white winds of the world, Whose father the golden Sun is, Whose mother the wheeling Moon is, The North and the South and the East and the West: By the four good winds of the world, That Man knoweth, That One dreadeth, That God blesseth-- Be all well On mountain and moorland and lea, On loch-face and lochan and river, On shore and shallow and sea ! By the Voice of the Hollow Where the worm dwelleth: By the Voice of the Hollow Where the sea-wave stirs not: By the Voice of the Hollow That sun hath not seen yet: By the three dark winds of the world; The chill dull breath of the Grave, The breath from the depths of the Sea, The breath of To-morrow: By the white and dark winds of the world, The four and the three that are seven, That Man knoweth, That One dreadeth, That God blesseth. Be all well On mountain and moorland and lea, On loch-face and lochan and river, On shore and shallow and sea!
