Lines For Music.

Topics: classic

Loud wind, strong wind, where art thou blowing?             Into the air, the viewless air,             To be lost there:          There am I blowing.     Clear wave, swift wave, where art thou flowing?             Unto the sea, the boundless sea,             To be whelm'd there:          There am I flowing.     Young life, swift life, where art thou going?             Down to the grave, the loathsome grave,             To moulder there:          There am I going.
