about

From Sophocles' Antigone (406-496? BC)and anonymous poetry of the early sixteenth century

lyrics

Western Wind (anonymous)

Western wind when wilt thou blow
the small rain down can rain
Christ if my love were in my arms
and I in my bed again

Love, never conquered in battle
Love the plunderer laying waste the rich!
Love standing the night-watch
guarding a girl's soft cheek
you range the seas, the shepherd's steadings off in the wilds-
not even the deathless gods can flee your onset,
nothing human born for a day-
whoever feels your grip is driven mad.
(Sophocles' Antigone)

Western wind when wilt thou blow
the small rain down can rain
Christ if my love were in my arms
and I in my bed again
