¶Lyrics / Text

I waken the slumbering ocean, He rises in rage and might, But I laugh at his foaming fury, I laugh at his foaming fury, And sport with the billows white; They rear and dash, with a thunder crash, As I speed on my long, wild flight. I shout in the gloomy forest! The trees in my grasp I shake, The yellow leaves dance before me, The green from their boughs I break; My clarions sound in the deeps profound, As my way through the woods I take. Afar through the boundless heavens, The white-winged clouds I chase, And I laugh! As I see them flying Across the old moon’s white face; In wild delight I mock at their fright, And I cry— “O ye clouds, give place!”
