I would go where you go,
You sole monarch that I know.
Wind, wind of black night,
I would go with your delight.
Take me by my streaming hair,
Take me where in the air
Planets meet, stars fight.
I have need of the speed
Of your thunder-shattering steed.
Wind, wind of black night,
I would battle with your might.
Take me by my soaring mind.
No more blind, I shall find
Hell's depth and sky's height.
I would follow where you lead,
Freed, freed of sense and creed.
Wind, wind of black night,
I would see with your sight.
Take me by my burning soul,
Stark, whole, to God my goal,
Clean darkness, sheer light.
