For so long I have felt alone Content to live with unrest Longing faded into countless nights That buried my weary heart But you brought an end To this dead hour And meaning to a calloused life Held in your arms But too far from my heart These thoughts

How green, how green was my valley? To be told of such hills To be held in such spots To behold such warmth Call to arms these harmonies! And in happy agony we sing Oh, your deeps and your shades Where the wild roses pray Such heat from pride
