On cold, windy, stormy nights,
Windows thump, rattle and beat,
The rain so quickly passed,
Like thuds of a human hearts.
On cold, windy, stormy nights,
Windows thump, rattle and beat,
The rain so quickly passed,
Like thuds of a human hearts.
Too rare are my visits here
Where the city’s still
And every surge and pulse
of cloud and air you hear.
Feel free in your impulse
Where only birds trill.
