Evoë (Macleod, set by H. Bath, J. Foulds) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Oceanward, the sea-horses sweep magnificently, 
champing and whirling white foam about their green flanks, 
and tossing on high their manes of sunlit rainbow-gold, 
dazzling white and multitudinous far as sight can reach. 
O champing horses of my soul, toss, 
toss on high your sunlit manes, 
your manes of rainbow-gold, 
dazzling white and multitudinous: 
for I too rejoice, rejoice!
