Lyrics The Peacefull Westerne Winde -

The Peacefull Westerne Winde

The peacefull westerne winde
The winter stormes hath tam’d
And nature in each kinde
The kinde heat hath inflam’d
The forward buds so sweetly breathe
Out of their earthly bowers
That heav’n which views their pompe beneath
Would faine be deckt with flowers
See how the morning smiles
From her bright eastern hill
And with soft steps beguiles
Them that lie slumbring still
The musicke-loving birds have come
From cliffes and rockes unknowne;
To see the trees and briers bloome
That late were over-flowne
What Saturne did destroy
Loves Queen revives againe;
And now her naked boy
Doth in the fields remaine:
Where he such pleasing change doth view
In ev’ry living thing
As if the world were born anew
To gratifie the Spring
