Now westlin winds
Haydn, Joseph
Now westlin winds and slaught'rin' guns,
Brings Autumn's pleasant weather;
The gorcock springs, on whirring wings
Amang the blooming heather:
Now waving grain, wide o'er the plain,
Delights the weary farmer;
The moon shines bright as I rove by night
To muse upon my charmer.
We'll gently walk and sweetly talk,
While the silent moon shines clearly;
I'll clasp thy waist, and, fondly prest,
Swear how I lo'e thee dearly;
Not vernal showers to budding flowers,
Not autumn to the farmer,
So dear can be as thou to me,
My fair, my lovely charmer.
