O wild west wind, Op. 53, No. 3



Edward Elgar - O wild west wind, Op. 53, No. 3 - текст песни (слова)

O wild West Wind, make me thy lyre, even as the forest is:
 What if my leaves are falling like its own!
 The tumult of thy mighty harmonies
 
 Will take from both a deep, autumnal tone,
 Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce,
 My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!
 
 Drive my dead thoughts over the universe
 Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth!
 And, by the incantation of this verse,
 
 Scatter, as from an unextinguished hearth
 Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!
 Be through my lips to unawakened earth
 
 The trumpet of a prophecy! O, Wind,
 If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
