I have heard the wind on a winter's nightA
When the snow cold moon looked icily throughB
My window's flickering firelightA
Where the frost his witchery drewB
I have heard the wind on a winter's nightA
Wandering ways that were frozen whiteA
Wail in my chimney flueB
And its voice was the voice so it seemed to meC
The voice of the world's vast miseryC

I have heard the wind on a night of springE
When the leaves unclasped their girdles of goldA
And the bird on the bough sang slumberingE
In the lilac's fragrant foldA
I have heard the wind on a night of springE
Shaking the musk from its dewy wingE
Sigh in my garden oldA
And it seemed that it said as it sighed aboveF
'I am the voice of the Earth's great love '-

I have heard the wind on a night of fallG
When a devil's dance was the rain's down pourH
And the wild woods reeled to its demon callG
And the carpet fluttered the floorH
I have heard the wind on a night of fallG
Heaping the leaves by the garden wallG
Weep at my close shut doorH
And its voice so it seemed as it sorrowed thereI
Was the old old voice of the world's despairI

I have heard the wind on a summer nightA
When the myriad stars stormed heaven with fireJ
And the moon moth glimmered in phantom flightA
And the crickets creaked in choirJ
I have heard the wind on a summer nightA
Rocking the red rose and the whiteA
Murmur in bloom and brierJ
And its voice was the voice so it seemed to meC
Of Earth's primordial mysteryC
