Red Wind, whose word of might Winged thee with wings of flame ?
O fire of mournful night! What is thy Master's name ?
Red Wind ! who bade thee burn, Branding our hearts ? Who bade
Thee on and never turn,
Till waste our souls were laid ?
Red Wind ! from out the West
Pour Winds of Paradise : Winds of eternal rest,
That weary souls entice.
Wind of the East! Red Wind !
Thou scorchest the soft breath Of Paradise the kind :
Red Wind of burning death !
O Red Wind ! hear God's voice: Hear thou, and fall, and cease.
Let Innisfail rejoice
In her Hesperian peace.
TO MORFYDD
A
VOICE of the winds, A voice by the waters, Wanders and cries:
Oh ! what are the winds ? And what are the waters ?• Mine are your eyes. |
