Robert Burns - Raving Winds lyrics

(Robert Burns)

Raving winds around her blowing,

Yellow leaves the woodlands strowing,

By a river hoarsely roaring,

Isabella stray'd deploring-

'Farewell hours that late did measure

Sunshine days of joy and pleasure!

Hail, thou gloomy night of sorrow-

Cheerless night that knows no morrow!

O'er the Past too fondly wandering,

On the hopeless Future pondering,-

Chilly Grief my life-blood freezes,

Fell Despair my fancy seizes.

Life, thou soul of every blessing,

Load to Misery most distressing,

Gladly how would I resign thee,

And to dark Oblivion join thee!'

tune: McGrigor of Roro's Lament (207)
