[from Manx Ballads, 1896]

GRAIH MY CHREE.  

LOVE OF MY HEART.

 

O! GRAIH my chree, O ! vel oo marym?
O ! graih my chree, O ! vel uss dooisht ?
As mannagh noym yn graih my chree marym,
Sheign dou eisht geddyn baase fegooish.

 

LOVE of my heart, oh ! art thou with me?
Love of my heart, art thou awake?
And if I’ll not get my own heart’s love with me,
Then I must die bereft of her.
