Music: Karl Stepan
Lyrics: William Blake (1757-1827)
The wild winds weep,
And the night is a-cold;
Come hither, Sleep,
And my griefs unfold;
But lo! the morning peeps
Over the eastern steeps,
And the rustling birds of dawn
The earth do scorn.
Lo! to the vault
of paved heaven,
With sorrow fraught
my notes are driven;
They strike the ear of night,
make weep the eyes of day;
They make mad the roaring winds.
And with tempests play.
In every cry of every man,
In every infant’s cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
the mind-forg’d manacles I hear.
Like a fiend in a cloud,
with | howling woe,
after night I do croud,
and with | night will go;
I turn my back to the east,
from whence comforts have increas'd;
For light doth seize my brain
With frantic pain.
In every cry of every man,
In every infant’s cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
the mind-forg’d manacles I hear.
Like a fiend in a cloud,
with | howling woe,
after night I do croud,
and with | night will go;
I turn my back to the east,
from whence comforts have increas'd;
For light doth seize my brain
With frantic pain.
In every cry of every man,
In every infant’s cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
the mind-forg’d manacles I hear.
