Aye there it is - it wakes tonight

T. Fisk

Aye there it is - it wakes tonight

Sweet thoughts that will not die

And feeling's fires flash all as bright

As in the years gone by

Yes I could swear that glorious wind

Has swept the world aside

Has dashed its memory from my mind

Like foam bells from the tide

And thou art now a spirit pouring

Thy presence into all

The essence of the Tempest's roaring

And of the Tempest's fall

A universal influence

From my own influence free

A principle of life intense

Lost to mortality

Thus truly when the breast is cold

The prisoned soul shall rise

The dungeon mingle with the mould

The captive with the skies
