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 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 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 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 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 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 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
