And clap their hands together, and half close their eyes,
For they will ride the North when the ger-eagle flies,
With heavy whitening wings, and a heart fallen cold:
I kiss my wailing2 child and press it to my breast,
And hear the narrow graves calling my child and me.
Desolate3 winds that cry over the wandering sea;
Desolate winds that hover4 in the flaming West;
Desolate winds that beat the doors of Heaven, and beat
The doors of Hell and blow there many a whimpering ghost;
O heart the winds have shaken, the unappeasable host
Is comelier5 than candles at Mother Marys feet.
