Song: ‘Bring from the craggy haunts of birch and pine’

John Todhunter (1839–1916)

BRING from the craggy haunts of birch and pine,

Thou wild wind, bring

Keen forest odours from that realm of thine,

Upon thy wing!

O wind, O mighty, melancholy wind,

Blow through me, blow!

Thou blowest forgotten things into my mind,

From long ago.
