Mo Bròn! (Macleod, set by F. Hart, K. Lucke) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


O come across the grey wild seas,
Said my heart in pain;
Give me peace, give me peace,
Said my heart in pain.
This is the song of the Swan
On the tides of the wind,
The song of the wild Swan
Time out of mind.
O come across the grey wild seas,
O give me a token!
My head is on my knees,
My heart is broken.
This is the song of the Heart
On the tides of Sorrow:
This is the song of my heart
To-day and to-morrow.
