Turn Ye to Me

The stars are burning cheerily, cheerily
  Ho-ro Mhai-ri-dhu, turn ye to me
The seamew is moaning drearily, drearily
  Ho-ro Mhai-ri-dhu, turn ye to me
Cold is the stormwind that ruffles his breast
But warm are the downy plumes lining his nest
Cold blows the storm there, soft falls the snow there
  Ho-ro Mhai-ri-dhu, turn ye to me

The waves are dancing merrily, merrily
  Ho-ro Mhai-ri-dhu, turn ye to me
The seabirds are wailing wearily, wearily
  Ho-ro Mhai-ri-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 house the angry wave, mine but the lonely grave
Ho-ro Mhai-ri-dhu, turn ye to me

words by Christopher North in 1816. tune ancient
sung by Gordon Bok on Seal Djiril
