A / Anam / Westlin' Winds
Now Westlin' winds and slaughtering guns Bring autumn's pleasant weather The moorcock springs on whirring wings Among the blooming heather Now waving grain wild o'er the plain Delights the weary farmer And the moon shines bright when I rove at night To muse upon my charmer
The partridge loves the fruitful fells The plover loves the mountains The woodcock haunts the lonely dells The soaring heron, the fountains Through lofty groves the cushat roves The path of man to shun it The hazel bush o'erhangs the thrush The spreading thorn, the linnet
Thus every kind their pleasure find The savage and the tender Some social join, some leagues combine Some solitary wander Avaunt, away, the cruel sway Tyrannic man's dominion The sportsman's joy, the murdering cry The fluttering gory pinion
But Peggy dear, the evening's clear Swift flies the skimming swallow The sky is blue, the fields in view All fading green and yellow Come, let us stray our gladsome way And view the charms of nature The rustling corn, the fruited thorn And every happy creature
We'll gently walk and sweetly talk 'Til the silent moon shines clearly I'll grasp thy waist and fondly press Swear how I love thee dearly Not vernal showers to budding flowers Nor autumn to the farmer So dear can be as thou to me My fair, my lovely charmer Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa. |
