charles villiers stanford - devon, o devon, in wind and rain lyrics

Loading...

drake in the north sea grimly prowling
treading his dear revenge’s deck
watched, with the sea+dogs round him growling
galleons drifting wreck by wreck
“fetter and faith for england’s neck
f+ggot and father, saint and chain, +
yonder the devil and all go howling
devon, o devon, in wind and rain!”

drake at the last off nombre lying
knowing the night that toward him crept
gave to the sea+dogs round him crying
this for a sign before he slept: +
“pride of the west! what devon hath kept
devon shall keep on tidе or main;
call to the storm and drive them flying
dеvon, o devon, in wind and rain!”

valour of england gaunt and whitening
far in a south land brought to bay
locked in a death+grip all day tightening
waited the end in twilight gray
battle and storm and the sea+dog’s way
drake from his long rest turned again
victory lit thy steel with lightning
devon, o devon, in wind and rain!
