Welcome wild NortheasterA
Shame it is to seeB
Odes to every zephyrA
Ne'er a verse to theeB
Welcome black NortheasterA
O'er the German foamC
O'er the Danish moorlandsD
From thy frozen homeC
Tired are we of summerA
Tired of gaudy glareA
Showers soft and steamingE
Hot and breathless airA
Tired of listless dreamingE
Through the lazy dayF
Jovial wind of winterA
Turn us out to playF
Sweep the golden reed bedsG
Crisp the lazy dikeH
Hunger into madnessI
Every plunging pikeH
Fill the lake with wild fowlJ
Fill the marsh with snipeK
While on dreary moorlandsD
Lonely curlew pipeK
Through the black fir forestL
Thunder harsh and dryA
Shattering down the snowflakesM
Off the curdled skyA
Hark The brave NortheasterA
Breast high lies the scentN
On by holt and headlandN
Over heath and bentN
Chime ye dappled darlingsO
Through the sleet and snowP
Who can override youQ
Let the horses goP
Chime ye dappled darlingsO
Down the roaring blastN
You shall see a fox dieN
Ere an hour be pastN
Go and rest tomorrowP
Hunting in your dreamsR
While our skates are ringingE
O'er the frozen streamsR
Let the luscious SouthwindN
Breathe in lovers' sighsS
While the lazy gallantsS
Bask in ladies' eyesS
What does he but softenT
Heart alike and penU
'Tis the hard gray weatherA
Breeds hard English menU
What's the soft SouthwesterA
'Tis the ladies' breezeS
Bringing home their truelovesS
Out of all the seasS
But the black NortheasterA
Through the snowstorm hurledN
Drives our English hearts of oakV
Seaward round the worldN
Come as came our fathersS
Heralded by theeB
Conquering from the eastwardN
Lords by land and seaB
Come and strong within usS
Stir the Vikings' bloodN
Bracing brain and sinewU
Blow thou wind of GodN
