lyrics

SONG OF FINOLA (Matt Ren Ex)

Silent oh Moyle, be the rage of the waters
break not yet breezes, your chain of repose
murmuring Mournfulley, Lir’s lonely daughter
tells the night star her tale of her woes.

When -shall-the swan, her death note singing?
Sleep-with-wings, in darkness furled?
When -will -Heaven it’s sweet ringing bell?
Call-my-spirit, from this stormy world?

Sadly oh Moyle, thy winter waves weeping
fate bids me languish long ages away
still, in darkness, Erin lies sleeping
still doth pure light, it’s dawning delay

When-will-that-daystar, mildly spring?
Warm-our-isle, with peace and love?
When-will-heaven it’s sweet bell ringing?
Call-my-spirit, to the fields above?
