The Love Song of Chantilus

by

The wind frolics through the leaves

Of this my gently listing tree

With soothing longing calming ease

With magic music of a Westerly breeze

I wonder what its soft sighing speaks

Some tropical beach or blustery reef?

Does its quiet lull some spirit seek?

As its sound of nothing now reveals

It's quiet interlude of sighing conceal

How I wish that carefree sprite was me

Sailing sailing into rising sunsets

From farthest West to farthest East

Filling sails of romantic Portuguese

Neath stalwart wings of Northern geese

Fill my sail with thy sighing trill

A lonely Norwegian princess We go see

On a mountain by a fiord her castle be

About her palatial walls we will fell

Around its lovely parapets we will gale

Some comfort speak while kissing her cheek

As beautiful lonely Jesu his mother sweet

Her soul with comforting countenance keep

Carry me away then! Carry me away!

To that wild and constant calling shore

That upon my soul you evermore implore

My gratitude will fill thy breathy sighs

With I love you through the endless skies
