\nInvitation<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n\n\n
 <\/td>\n\n

With wind and the weather beating round me<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Up
\nto the hill and the moorland I go.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nWho will come with me? Who will climb with me? <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Wade
\nthrough the brook and tramp through the snow?
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\nNot in the petty circle of cities <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Cramped
\nby your doors and your walls I dwell;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nOver me God is blue in the welkin,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Against
\nme the wind and the storm rebel.
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\nI sport with solitude here in my regions,
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Of
\nmisadventure have made me a friend.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Who
\nwould live largely? Who would live freely?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Here
\nto the wind-swept uplands ascend.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\nI am the lord of tempest and mountain,
\n<\/span><\/p>\n


\nI am the Spirit of freedom and pride<\/span><\/p>\n

\nStark must he be and a kinsman to danger
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Who
\nshares my kingdom and walks at my side.
