Good morning weathercock, how did you fare last night   Did the cold wind bite you or did you face up to the fright?   When the leaves spin from October and whip around your tail   Did you shake from the blast and did you shiver through the gale?      And give us direction, the best of goodwill   Put us in touch with fair winds   Sing to us softly, hum evening's song   Tell us what the blacksmith has done for you      Do you simply reflect changes in the patterns of the sky   Or is it true to say the weather heeds, the twinkle in your eye?   Do you fight the rush of winter, do you hold snowflakes at bay   Do you life the dawn sun from the fields and help him on his way?      Good morning weathercock, make this day bright   Put us in touch with your fairy winds   Sing to us softly, hum evening's song   Point the way to better days, we can share with you      Good morning weathercock, make this day bright   Put us in touch with your fairy winds   Sing to us softly, hum evening's song   Point the way to better days, we can share with you
