Nightwind Songtext
von Darkwood

The night is dark′ning round me
The wild winds coldly blow
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go
The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow
The storm is fast descending
And yet I cannot go
Clouds beyond clouds above me
Waves beyond waves below
But nothing dreary moves me
I will not, cannot go
The wind I used to hear


With joy divinely dear
You might have seen my hot tears
For rapture made me weep
I used to love on winter nights
To lie and dream alone
Of all the hopes and real delights
My early years had known
And though above the rest
All those that coming time should bear
Like heaven's stars they rose
Still beaming bright and fair
Like heaven′s stars they rose
Still beaming bright and fair
