¶Lyrics / Text

What is the voice of the Western Wind? What are the gifts he brings? “I sweep,” he cries, “Over April skies, On swift and glittering wings.” In smiles and tears I veil the years, Yet pierce the clouds in twain. From my path on the sea, A song of the Free I bear to the servile plain. Through the riven night, Do I bring the light, In dreams of a nobler time, I show my face To the stalwart race In every land and clime. For the restless Mind and the dauntless Will, The roar of the Sea and the strength of the Hill, Speak in the Western Wind.
