George MacDonald - Oh That A WindGeorge MacDonald - Oh That A Wind
Work rating: Low


Oh that a wind would call From the depths of the leafless wood! Oh that a voice would fall On the ear of my solitude! Far away is the sea, With its sound and its spirit tone; Over it white clouds flee; But I am alone, alone. Straight and steady and tall The trees stand on their feet; Fast by the old stone wall The moss grows green and sweet; But my heart is full of fears, For the sun shines far away; And they look in my face through tears, And the light of a dying day. My heart was glad last night As I pressed it with my palm; Its throb was airy and light As it sang some spirit psalm; But it died away in my breast As I wandered forth to-day,— As a bird sat dead on its nest, While others sang on the spray. O weary heart of mine, Is there ever a Truth for thee? Will ever a sun outshine But the sun that shines on me? Away, away through the air The clouds and the leaves are blown; And my heart hath need of prayer, For it sitteth alone, alone.
