II. v. 7.: FRIENDSHIP VEERS WITH FORTUNE. It blows, it blows, the East wind blows, First softly, then the rains ensue. Once were alarms and anxious fears, And I was all in all to you; Now there is peace and all that cheers You turn and spurn me from your view. It blows, it blows, the East wind blows, First softly, then with fierce hot blast Once, in alarm, with anxious fears, You held me to your bosom fast; Now there is peace and all that cheers Away like refuse I am cast. It blows, it blows, the East wind blows, And on the rugged rock-crowned height There’s not a plant it fails to kill, And not a tree it fails to blight. Blind to my excellences still, My little faults you keep in sight.

Date: 2021-04-20 03:19 am (UTC)It blows, it blows, the East wind blows,
First softly, then the rains ensue.
Once were alarms and anxious fears,
And I was all in all to you;
Now there is peace and all that cheers
You turn and spurn me from your view.
It blows, it blows, the East wind blows,
First softly, then with fierce hot blast
Once, in alarm, with anxious fears,
You held me to your bosom fast;
Now there is peace and all that cheers
Away like refuse I am cast.
It blows, it blows, the East wind blows,
And on the rugged rock-crowned height
There’s not a plant it fails to kill,
And not a tree it fails to blight.
Blind to my excellences still,
My little faults you keep in sight.
