lyrics

Anne Brontë (1820-1849)
My Soul is Awakened
My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring, 
And carried aloft on the wings of the breeze; 

For, above, and around me,
the wild wind is roaring 

Arousing to rapture the earth and the seas. 



The long withered grass
in the sunshine is glancing, 

The bare trees are tossing
their branches on high; 

The dead leaves beneath them
are merrily dancing, 

The white clouds are scudding
across the blue sky. 



I wish I could see how the ocean is lashing 

The foam of its billows
to whirlwinds of spray,
I wish I could see how
its proud waves are dashing 

And hear the wild roar
of their thunder today!
