There's sorrow on the wind, my grief, there's sorrow on the wind, Old and grey! I hear it whispering, calling, where the last stars touch the sea, Where the cloud creeps down the hill, and the leaf shakes on the tree, There's sorrow on the wind and it's calling low to me @3Come away! Come away!@1 There's sorrow in the world, O wind, there's sorrow in my heart Night and day: So why should I not listen to the song you sing to me? The hill cloud falls away in rain, the leaf whirls from the tree, And peace may live in I-Brasîl where the last stars touch the sea Far away, far away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HAD I THE CHOICE (AFTER WALT WHITMAN) by GEORGE SANTAYANA SIXTEEN DEAD MEN by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS WISHES TO HIS SUPPOSED MISTRESS by RICHARD CRASHAW THE TRAGEDY OF VALENTINIAN: THE POWER OF LOVE by JOHN FLETCHER THE TRAIL OF NINETY-EIGHT by ROBERT WILLIAM SERVICE TO A GIPSY CHILD BY THE SEA-SHORE by MATTHEW ARNOLD |
