W:The stars are burning cheerily, cheerily
W:Ho-ro Mhai-ri-dhu, turn ye to me
W:The seamew is moaning drearily, drearily
W:Ho-ro Mhai-ri-dhu, turn ye to me
W:Cold is the stormwind that ruffles his breast
W:But warm are the downy plumes lining his nest
W:Cold blows the storm there, soft falls the snow there
W:Ho-ro Mhai-ri-dhu, turn ye to me
W:
W:The waves are dancing merrily, merrily
W:Ho-ro Mhai-ri-dhu, turn ye to me
W:The seabirds are wailing wearily, wearily
W:Ho-ro Mhai-ri-dhu, turn ye to me
W:Hushed be thy moaning, lone bird of the sea
W:Thy home on the rocks is a shelter to thee
W:Thy house the angry wave, mine but the lonely grave
W:Ho-ro Mhai-ri-dhu, turn ye to me
