Cold is the wind, fast falls the rain,
  The cock aye shrilly crows.
  But I have seen my lord again;--
  Now must my heart repose.

  Whistles the wind, patters the rain,
  The cock's crow far resounds.
  But I have seen my lord again,
  And healed are my heart's wounds.

  All's dark amid the wind and rain,
  Ceaseless the cock's clear voice!
  But I have seen my lord again;--
  Should not my heart rejoice?
