Welcome wild North easterA
Shame it is to seeB
Odes to every zephyrA
Ne'er a verse to theeB
Welcome black North easterA
O'er the German foamC
O'er the Danish moorlandsD
From thy frozen homeC
Tired we are of summerA
Tired of gaudy glareE
Showers soft and steamingF
Hot and breathless airE
Tired of listless dreamingF
Through the lazy dayG
Jovial wind of winterA
Turns us out to playG
Sweep the golden reed bedsH
Crisp the lazy dykeI
Hunger into madnessJ
Every plunging pikeI
Fill the lake with wild fowlK
Fill the marsh with snipeL
While on dreary moorlandsD
Lonely curlew pipeL
Through the black fir forestM
Thunder harsh and dryN
Shattering down the snow flakesO
Off the curdled skyN
Hark The brave North easterA
Breast high lies the scentP
On by holt and headlandP
Over heath and bentP
Chime ye dappled darlingsQ
Through the sleet and snowR
Who can over ride youS
Let the horses goR
Chime ye dappled darlingsQ
Down the roaring blastP
You shall see a fox dieP
Ere an hour be pastP
Go and rest to morrowR
Hunting in your dreamsT
While our skates are ringingF
O'er the frozen streamsT
Let the luscious South windP
Breathe in lovers' sighsU
While the lazy gallantsU
Bask in ladies' eyesU
What does he but softenV
Heart alike and penW
'Tis the hard gray weatherA
Breeds hard English menW
What's the soft South westerA
'Tis the ladies' breezeU
Bringing home their true lovesU
Out of all the seasU
But the black North easterA
Through the snowstorm hurledP
Drives our English hearts of oakX
Seaward round the worldP
Come as came our fathersU
Heralded by theeB
Conquering from the eastwardP
Lords by land and seaB
Come and strong within usU
Stir the Vikings' bloodP
Bracing brain and sinewW
Blow thou wind of GodP
