I am the mountainy singer- br The voice of the peasant's dream, br The cry of the wind on the wooded hill, br The leap of the fish in the stream. br br Quiet and love I sing- br The carn on the mountain crest, br The cailin in her lover's arms, br The child at its mother's breast. br br Beauty and peace I sing- br The fire on the open hearth, br The cailleach spinning at her wheel, br The plough in the broken earth. br br Travail and pain I sing- br The bride on the childing bed, br The dark man laboring at his rhymes, br The ewe in the lambing shed. br br Sorrow and death I sing- br The canker come on the corn, br The fisher lost in the mountain loch, br The cry at the mouth of morn.
