Explore "When Blows the Wind" by Gilbert Parker on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When blows the wind and drives the sleet, / And all the trees droop down; / When all the world is sad, 'tis meet / Good company be known: / And, in my heart, good company / Sits by the fire and sings to me.
When warriors return, and one / That went returns no more; / When dusty is the road we run, / And garners have no store; / One ingle-nook right warm shall be / Where my heart hath good company.
When man shall flee and woman fail, / And folly mock and hope deceive, / Let cowards beat the breast and wail, / I'll homeward hie; I will not grieve: / I'll curtains draw, I'll there set free / My heart's beloved boon company.
When kings shall favour, ladies call / My service to their side; / When roses grow upon the wall / Of life, and love inside; / I'll get me home with joy to be / In my heart's own good company!
