I've walked the hills when rain was falling

Rested by a wide oak tree

Heard a lark sing high at evening

Caught a moonbeam on the sea

Chorus:

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
