She walks with the wind on the windy heightB
When the rocks are loud and the waves are whiteB
And all night long she calls through the nightB
'O my children come home '-
Her bleak gown torn as a tattered cloudC
Tosses around her like a shroudC
While over the deep her voice rings loudC
'O my children come home come homeD
O my children come home '-

-
Who is she who wanders aloneE
When the wind drives sheer and the rain is blownE
Who walks all night and makes her moanE
'O my children come home '-
Whose face is raised to the blinding galeF
Whose hair blows black and whose eyes are paleF
While over the world goes by her wailF
'O my children come home come homeD
O my children come home '-
-
IIIA
-
She walks with the wind in the windy woodG
The dark rain drips from her hair and hoodG
And her cry sobs by like a ghost pursuedH
'O my children come home '-
Where the trees loom gaunt and the rocks stretch drearI
The owl and the fox crouch back with fearI
As wild through the wood her voice they hearI
'O my children come home come homeD
O my children come home '-
-
IV-
-
Who is she who shudders byA
When the boughs blow bare and the dead leaves flyA
Who walks all night with her wailing cryA
'O my children come home '-
Who strange of look and wild of tongueJ
With wan feet wounded and hands wild wrungJ
Sweeps on and on with her cry far flungJ
'O my children come home come homeD
O my children come home '-
-
V-
-
'Tis the Spirit of Autumn no man seesK
The mother of Death and of MysteriesK
Who cries on the wind all night to theseK
'O my children come home '-
The Spirit of Autumn pierced with painL
Calling her children home againM
Death and Dreams through ruin and rainL
'O my children come home come homeD
O my children come home '-
