At two o'clock in the morning if you open your window and | B |
listen | C |
You will hear the feet of the Wind that is going to call the sun | C |
And the trees in the shadow rustle and the trees in the moonlight | D |
glisten | C |
And though it is deep dark night you feel that the night is | E |
done | C |
- | |
So do the cows in the field They graze for an hour and lie down | F |
Dozing and chewing the cud or a bird in the ivy wakes | G |
Chirrups one note and is still and the restless Wind stares on | H |
Fidgeting far down the road till softly the darkness breaks | G |
- | |
Back comes the Wind full strength with a blow like an angel's | G |
wing | I |
Gentle but waking the world as he shouts quot The Sun The | J |
Sun quot | D |
And the light floods over the fields and the birds begin to sing | I |
And the Wind dies down in the grass It is day and his work | K |
is done | C |
- | |
So when the world is asleep and there seems no hope of her | L |
waking | I |
Out of some long bad dream that makes her mutter and moan | M |
Suddenly all men arise to the noise of fetters breaking | I |
And every one smiles at his neighbor and tells him his soul is | G |
his own | M |
