The Quest for the Queen



The wintry west extends his blast
And hail and rain does blaw
Or the stormy north sends driving forth
The blinding sleet and snaw

Thou Pow'r Supreme, whose mighty scheme
These woes of mine fulfil

Then all I want, O do Thou grant
This one request of mine
And when there's nothing left to tell anymore
'Tis the quest for you and I

Wild-tumbling brown, the burn comes down
And roars frae bank to brae
And bird and beast in covert rest
And pass the heartless day

Thou Pow'r Supreme, whose mighty scheme
These woes of mine fulfil

Then all I want, O do Thou grant
This one request of mine
And when there's nothing left to tell anymore
'Tis the quest for you and I
The quest for the queen of ice

The quest, the queen
The Pow'r Supreme

The sweeping blast, the sky o'ercast
The joyless winter day
Let others fear, to me more dear
Than all the pride of May

The tempest's howl, it soothes my soul
My griefs it seems to join
The leafless trees my fancy please
Their fate resembles mine

Pow'r Supreme, what have I done to thee
Pow'r Supreme, when will it ever end
Pow'r Supreme, what have I done, what have I done
Pow'r Supreme, when will it ever end

Ice and fire
The quest for the queen
