Hebrides SuiteAn Eriskay Love Lilt

Chorus Bheir me o, horo van o Bheir me o, horo van ee Bheir me o, o horo ho

Sad am I, without thee.

Thou'rt the music of my heart; Harp of joy, o cruit mo chruidh;

Moon of guidance by night; Strength and light thou'rt to me.

Chorus

In the morning, when I go To the white and shining sea,

In the calling of the seals Thy soft calling to me.

Chorus

When I'm lonely, dear white heart, Black the night and wild the sea,

By love's light, my foot finds The old pathway to me.
