That Wind I Used To Hear It Swelling

That wind I used to hear it swelling
  With joy divinely deep
  You might have seen my hot tears welling
  But rapture made me weep

  I used to love on winter nights
  To lie and dream alone
  Of all the hopes and real delights
  My early years had known

  And oh above the rest of those
  That coming time should [bear]
  Like heaven's own glorious stars they rose
  Still beaming bright and fair
