    Roads are wet where'er one wendeth,
    And with rain the thistle bendeth,
    And the brook cries like a child!
    Not a rainbow shines to cheer us;
    Ah! the sun comes never near us,
    And the heavens look dark and wile.

When clouds are seen wise men put on their cloaks;
When great leaves fall then winter is at hand.

Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll,
And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole,
Yet 'tis Thy voice, my God, that bids them fly,
Thy arm directs those lightnings through the sky.
Then let the good Thy mighty name revere,
And hardened sinners Thy just vengeance fear.

Bursts as a wave that from the clouds impends,
And swell'd with tempests on the ship descends;
White are the decks with foam; the winds aloud
Howl o'er the masts, and sing through every shroud:
Pale, trembling, tir'd, the sailors freeze with fears;
And instant death on every wave appears.

The winds grow high;
Impending tempests charge the sky;
The lightning flies, the thunder roars;
And big waves lash the frightened shores.

The earth is rocking, the skies are riven--
Jove in a passion, in god-like fashion,

As far as could ken thy chalky cliffs,

As far as could ken thy chalky cliffs,
When from thy shore the tempest beat us back,
I stood upon the hatches in the storm,
And when the dusky sky began to rob
My earnest-gaping sight of thy land's view,
I took a costly jewel from my neck,
A heart it was, bound in with diamonds,
And threw it toward thy land.

A little gale will soon disperse that cloud
And blow it to the source from whence it came.

A little gale will soon disperse that cloud
And blow it to the source from whence it came.
Thy very beams will dry those vapors up,
For every cloud engenders not a storm.
