Traditional Irish melody ("The Brown Irish Girl") and words from The Irish Minstrel (Edinburgh: Robert Purdie, 1825), p. 65.
Arranged by Konrad Harley (1986-), 2024.
Stranger, whencesoe'er you come,
Welcome to this rustic dome;
Welcome to the hill, the glade;
Welcome to the forest shade:
To our simplest homely fare,
Come, and welcome; banish care:
Climb our hills, and health inhale,
Borne upon the perfum'd gale.
Bury in yon wooded glen
All the strife of busy men;
Let the streams that round it roll,
Softly murmuring, soothe thy soul:
See, the glorious orb of day
Gilds us with his parting ray,
Whilst above the woods afar
Sweetly shines the evening star!
Stranger, rest thee here a while,
Till the morning sun shall smile;
Then explore the fairy scene,
Lovely like a waking dream.
Health and peace and joy are here;
Child of sorrow, banish care,
Cease thy wanderings, leave thy woes,
Yield to pleasure and repose!
