Musing On The Roaring Ocean lyrics

Musing on the Roaring Ocean
      (Robert Burns)
Musing on the roaring
ocean,
  Which divides my love and me,
Wearying heav'n in warm
devotion
  For his weal where'er he be.
Hope and Fear's alternate
billow
   Yielding late to Nature's law,
Whisp'ring spirits round my
pillow,
   Talk of him that's far awa.
Ye whom sorrow never
wounded,
  Ye who never shed a tear,
Care-untroubled,
joy-surrounded,
  Gaudy day to you is dear!
Gentle night, do thou
befriend me!
  Downy sleep, the curtain draw!
Spirits kind, again
attend me,
   Talk of him that's far awa!
tune: Druimoinn dubh
