The Peacefull Westerne Winde lyrics

The peacefull westerne winde

The winter stromes 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.
