In autumn when wind When winds and the sea Rejoice to live and laugh to be Laugh to be And scarce the blast The curb and the tree And bids before it And bids before it quail and flee The hearts of western elves burn bright With joy that mocks the spring To hear all heaven's keen clarions ring Music that bids the spirit sing And wind by night in northern lands Arose and Lord it cried And drove the ships from ancient strands Across the streaming tide In winter when years When the years burn low As fire wherein no firebrands glow Firebrands glow And winds disappear Dishevel as they blow The stormy wings The stormy lovely wings of snow The hearts of western elves burn bright With joy that mocks the spring To hear all heaven's keen clarions ring Music that bids the spirit sing And wind by night in northern lands Arose and Lord it cried And drove the ships from ancient strands Across the streaming tide The hearts of western elves burn bright With joy that mocks the spring To hear all heaven's keen clarions ring Music that bids the spirit sing And wind by night in northern lands Arose and Lord it cried And drove the ships from ancient strands Across the streaming tide
