lirik lagu ghizela rowe - katherine mansfield - spring wind in london
i blow across the stagnant world
i blow across the sea
for me, the sailor’s flag unfurled
for me, the uprooted tree
my challenge to the world is hurled;
the world must bow to me
i drive the clouds across the sky
i huddle them like sheep;
merciless shepherd~dog am i
and shepherd~watch i keep
if in the quiet vales they lie
i blow them up the steep
lo! in the tree~tops do i hide
in every living thing;
on the moon’s yellow wings i glide
on the wild rose i swing;
on the sea~horse’s back i ride
and what then do i bring?
and when a little child is ill
i pause, and with my hand
i wave the window curtain’s frill
that he may understand
outside the wind is blowing still;
…it is a pleasant land
o stranger in a foreign place
see what i bring to you
this rain—is tears upon your face;
i tell you—tell you true
i came from that forgotten place
where once the wattle grew,—
all the wild sweetness of the flower
tangled against the wall
it was that magic, silent hour…
the branches grew so tall
they twined themselves into a bower
the sun shown… and the fall
of yellow blossom on the grass!
you feel that golden rain?
both of you could not hold, alas
(both of you tried, in vain)
a memory, stranger. so i pass…
it will not come again
