Isle of My Heart
M. Kennedy-Fraser
As down by the shore I wander early at morn,
A-down by the shore-land wander early at morn;
The sea and the sky, the sky, so blue, so blue
Low sighs "mo neean, 'tis true your love loves you."
The moss to the moor-land murmurs all the day long,
The oak to the hazel wafts the same sweet song;
The rock to the tangle sighs "'tis true, 'tis true,"
Soft sighs a-nee-an-doo, "your love loves you."
A-down by the shore-land wand 'ring night or morn,
Far down by the shore-land wand 'ring night or morn;
The rock to the tangle sighs "'tis true, 'tis true,"
Soft sighs a-nee-an-doo, "your love loves you!"
The lark to the mavis carols her sweet song,
The gull to the sea-mew cries the shore along;
Nor seal nor swan can hide it from you, from you,
Your heart mo neean sings true, "your love loves you."
Down by the white shore-land wand'ring night or morn,
Far down the white shore -land wand'ring night or morn;
The sea to the sky, the sky, so blue, so blue
Low sighs "'tis true, mo neean, your love loves you."
