| I’ve walked the hills when rain was falling
|
| Rested by a white oak tree
|
| Heard a lark sing high at evening
|
| Caught a moonbeam on the sea
|
| Softly blow ye winds of morning
|
| Sing ye winds your mournful sound
|
| Blow ye from the earth’s four corners
|
| Guide this traveller where he’s bound
|
| I’ve helped a ploughman tend his horses
|
| Heard a rippling river sing
|
| Talked to stars when night was falling
|
| Seen a primrose welcome spring
|
| Softly blow ye winds of morning
|
| Sing ye winds your mournful sound
|
| Blow ye from the earth’s four corners
|
| Guide this traveller where he’s bound
|
| By foreign shores, my feet have wandered
|
| Heard a stranger call me friend
|
| Every time my mind was troubled
|
| Found a smile around the bend
|
| Softly blow ye winds of morning
|
| Sing ye winds your mournful sound
|
| Blow ye from the earth’s four corners
|
| Guide this traveller where he’s bound
|
| There’s a ship stands in the harbour
|
| All prepared to cross the foam
|
| Far off hills were fair and friendly
|
| Still there’s fairer hills at home
|
| Softly blow ye winds of morning
|
| Sing ye winds your mournful sound
|
| Blow ye from the earth’s four corners
|
| Guide this traveller where he’s bound |
