Raving winds around her blowing

The works of Robert Burns

Available for over a year

Raving winds around her blowing, Yellow leaves the woodlands strowing, By a river hoarsely roaring Isabella stray'd deploring. Farewell, hours that late did measure Sunshine days of joy and pleasure; Hail, thou gloomy night of sorrow, Cheerless night that knows no morrow. O'er the Past too fondly wandering, On the hopeless Future pondering; Chilly Grief my life-blood freezes, Fell Despair my fancy seizes. Life, thou soul of every blessing, Load to Misery most distressing, Gladly how would I resign thee, And to dark Oblivion join thee!
