about

Westron Wynde is the first ever example of written or written down piece of British poetry. Those four lines have been researched, learned, decoded and transcribed for centuries, so how could I miss my chance of using it in my story!
Sweet and Low was published in 1850 by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1817–1904). This beautiful poem appears twice in the course of album.

lyrics

Westron wynde when wyll thow blow
the smalle rayne down can Rayne
Cryst yf my love were in my Armys
and I yn my bed Agayne


"Sweet and Low, part 1"

Sweet and low, sweet and low,
Wind of the western sea,
Low, low, breathe and blow,
Wind of the western sea!
