Lyrics: Ossian (James Macpherson)
Retire, my love, for it is light
And the dark winds sigh in thy hair;
Retire, my love, to the hall of my feasts.
Cease a little while, O wind,
Stream, be thou silent awhile;
Let my steps be heard on the heath.
My love is fairer than the light,
More pleasant than the gale of the hill,
Which sighs on the hunter's ear.
Retire, my love, for it is light
And the dark winds sigh in thy hair;
Retire, my love, to the hall of my feasts.
Cease a little while, O wind,
Stream, be thou silent awhile;
Let my steps be heard on the heath.
My love is fairer than the light,
More pleasant than the gale of the hill,
Which sighs on the hunter's ear.
