"Eye of Heaven, pray gently smile, And though the cold wind blow, Soft, may you warm and mind my love That I do love her so" New Zealand composer Douglas Lilburn wrote a string quartet in 1939 entitled Phantasy based on a reworking of Westron Wynde. He undoubtedly modelled the work on his teacher Ralph Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis (Lilburn was studying with Vaughan Williams at the time). Versions Both simplified and distorted versions of this poem have been printed over the past many years. These include both tampered and accurately modernized versions. For example William Chappell inserted 'O' at the start of the poem and replaced the word 'Cryst' with 'Oh' in his 1859 version. The latter was probably done to make it a safe reading for women and children in the 19th century context. He also included 'doth' between 'down' and 'rayne' based on his probable interpretation that the wind did blow the rain away. Some modernization of spellings was done by other editors to make the poem accessible for modern reading. In popular culture The poem is used by: Ernest Hemingway in his novel A Farewell to Arms (1929). Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves (1931). Wilbur Daniel Steele in his short story How Beautiful with Shoes. Madeleine L'Engle in her novel The Small Rain (1945).
