First Line: Resonant with the day's din
Last Line: O night wind, flooding my soul.
Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Passion
Resonant with the day's din,
Hot with the fever of life,
Thrilling with thwarted desire,
Turbulent yet from the strife,
Passionate, madly sweeping,
Hurtling with freedom and flare,
Baffling the senses, striving,
Echoing loud the heart's care—
Hushing, assuaging, crooning,
Calling in cadences low,
Rising to fall in murmurs,
Ebbing in musical flow,
Cooling the fevered spirit,
Urging it on to its goal—
Thus are you moving ever,
O Night Wind, flooding my soul.
