The wintry Northern Wind, She blows and blows and blows. O, you frosty maiden, Why blow you ceaselessly? Your hands my clothing mess, Your nails they scratch my skin; With pale face you look me Which racks with chills my breast. Away all human warmth, Away all tender care; O mistress why do you Your loveless magic wield? I know not whence I came, Nor whither I shall go; So blow on, you North Wind, And lead me to my end. |
