¶Lyrics / Text

translated from the Gaelic by John Stuart Blackie Health and joy be with you, My bonnie nut-brown maid, With tresses richly flow-ing, With virgin grace array'd; Thy voice to me is music When heavy I may be, It heals my heart's deep sorrow To speak a word with thee. In sadness I am rocking This night upon the sea; For troubled is my slumber, When thy smile is far from me; On thee I'm ever thinking, Thy face is ever near; And if I may not find thee, Then death alone is dear.
