OUT forever and foreverA
Where our tresses glint and shiverA
On the icy moonlit airB
Come we from a land of gloamingC
Children lost forever homingC
Never never reaching thereB
Ride we ride we ever fasterA
Driven by our demon masterA
The wild wind in his despairB
Ride we ride we ever homeD
Wan white children of the foamD
-
In the wild October dawningC
When the heaven's angry awningC
Leans to lakeward bleak and drearB
And along the black wet ledgesE
Under icy caverned edgesF
Breaks the lake in maddened fearB
And the woods in shore are moaningC
Then you hear our weird intoningC
Mad late children of the yearB
Ride we ride we ever homeD
Lost white children of the foamD
-
All grey day the black sky underB
Where the beaches moan and thunderB
Where the breakers spume and combD
You may hear our riding ridingC
You may hear our voices chidingC
Under glimmer under gloamD
Like a far off infant wailingC
-
You may hear our hailing hailingC
For the voices of our homeD
Ride we ride we ever homeD
Haunted children of the foamD
-
And at midnight when the glimmerB
Of the moon grows dank and dimmerB
Then we lift our gleaming eyesG
Then you see our white arms tossingC
Our wan breasts the moon embossingC
Under gloom of lake and skiesG
You may hear our mournful chantingC
And our voices haunting hauntingC
Through the night's mad melodiesH
Riding riding ever homeD
Wild white children of the foamD
-
There forever and foreverB
Will no demon hate disseverB
Peace and sleep and rest and dreamI
There is neither fear nor fret thereB
When the tired children get thereB
Only dews and pallid beamI
Fall in gentle peace and sadnessJ
Over long surcease of madnessJ
From hushed skies that gleam and gleamI
In the longed for sought for homeD
Of the children of the foamD
-
There the streets are hushed and restfulK
And of dreams is every breast fullL
With the sleep that tired eyes wearB
There the city hath long quietM
From the madness and the riotM
From the failing hearts of careB
Balm of peacefulness inglidingC
Dream we through our riding ridingC
As we homeward homeward fareB
Riding riding ever homeD
Wild white children of the foamD
-
Under pallid moonlight beamingC
Under stars of midnight gleamingC
And the ebon arch of nightN
Round the rosy edge of morningC
You may hear our distant horningC
You may mark our phantom flightN
Riding riding ever fasterB
Driven by our demon masterB
Under darkness under lightN
Ride we ride we ever homeD
Wild white children of the foamD
