' Warm our isle with Peace and Love?

The Song of Fionnuala*

Silent, oh Moyle, be the roar of thy water,
Break not, ye breezes, your chain of repose,
While, murmuring mournfully, Lir's lonely daughter
Tells to the night-star her tale of woes.
When shall the swan, her death-note singing,
Sleep, with wings in darkness furl'd?
When will heav'n, its sweet bell ringing,
Call my spirit from this stormy world?

Sadly, oh Moyle, to thy winter-wave weeping,
Fate bids me languish long ages away;
Yet still in her darkness doth Erin lie sleeping,
Still doth the pure light its dawning delay.
When will that day-star, mildly springing,
Warm our isle with peace and love?
When will heav'n, its sweet bell ringing,
Call my spirit to the fields above?




The lyrics above are taken from a 19th-century American edition of Thomas Moore's poetical works. The sheet music has a few very minor differences (e.g., "O Moyle" instead of "oh Moyle" and "heav'n" instead of "heaven").

Erasure - Blue Savannah



Blue savannah song
Oh it’s a blue savannah song
Somewhere ’cross the desert
Sometime in the early hour
In a restless world
On the open highways

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

Blue savannah song
Oh it’s a blue savannah song
Racing ’cross the desert
At a hundred miles an hour
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder

Home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

I’m on my way back
And your love will bring me home
I’m travelling fast
And your love will bring me home
Will I discover
That your love will bring me home?

Somewhere ’cross the desert
Sometime in the early hour
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you 

. "She walks in Beauty, like the night
Of cloudness climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes..."

Lord Byron

"A kiss is a lovely trick, designed by nature, to stop words when speech becomes superfluous."

Ingrid Bergman

. "Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me."

Sarah Bernhardt

"We came by night to the Fortunate Isles, 
And lay like fish Under the net of our kisses."



Pablo Neruda
