The Music Of Scotland



    Turn Ye To Me

    The stars are shining cheerily, cheerily
    Horo, Mhairi dhu, turn ye to me.
    The sea mew's moaning drearily, drearily
    Horo, Mhairi dhu, turn ye to me.
    Cold is the stormwind that ruffles the breast
    But warm are the downy plumes lining its nest
    Cold blows the storm there
    Soft falls the snow there
    Horo, Mhairi dhu, turn ye to me.

    The waves are dancing merrily, merrily
    Horo, Mhairi dhu, turn ye to me.
    The seabirds are wailing wearily, wearily
    Horo, Mhairi dhu, turn ye to me.
    Hushed be thy moaning, lone bird of the sea
    Thy home on the rocks is a shelter to thee
    Thy home is the angry wave
    Mine but the lonely grave
    Horo, Mhairi dhu, turn ye to me.
