The Tempest’s Howl, It Soothes My Soul

The wintry waste extends his blast
And hail and ram does blaw
O'er the stormy north sends driving forth
The blinding sleet and snaw
While tumbling brown the burn comes down
And roars frae bank to brae
And bird and beast in covert rest
And pass the heartless day
The wintry waste extends his blast
And hail and ram does blaw
O'er the stormy north sends driving forth
The blinding sleet and snaw
While tumbling brown the burn comes down
And roars frae bank to brae
And bird and beast in covert rest
And pass the heartless day
The sweeping blast, the sky o'ercast
The joyous winter day
Let others fear, to me more dear
Than all the pride of May
The tempest howl, it soothes my soul
My griefs it seems to join
The leafless trees, my fancy please
Their fate resembles mine
The sweeping blast, the sky o'ercast
The joyous winter day
Let others fear, to me more dear
Than all the pride of May
The tempest howl, it soothes my soul
My griefs it seems to join
The leafless trees, my fancy please
Their fate resembles mineThou power supreme
Whose mighty scheme
These woes of mine fulfill
Here for my rest
They must be best
Because they are thy will
Then all I want
Oh, do thou grant
This one request of mine
Since to enjoy
Thou dost deny
Assist me to resign
