Talk to my heart, o winds
Talk To my heart tonight
My spirit always finds
With you new delight
Finds always new delight,
In your silver talk at night.
Come Up from your cold bed,
In the Silly twilight sea,
For the dearest hope lies dead
That was ever dear to me;
Come up from your cold bed,
And we'll talk about the dad.
Tell me, for oft you go,
Winds, lovely winds of night,
About the chambers low,
With sheets SO dainty white,
they sleep through all the night,
In the beds so chill and white
Talk to me, winds, and say,
If in the grave he rest;
For, 0, lilcs little day
Is a weary one at best;
Talk to my heart and say
If death will give me rest.
