There's nae lark (Samuel Barber)

There's nae lark loves the light, my dear,
There's nae ship love the sea,
There's nae bee loves the heather hills,
That loves as I love thee, my love,
That loves as I love thee.

The whin shines fair upon the fell,
The blithe broom on the lea:
The muirside wind is merry at heart:
It's a' for love o' thee, my love,
It's a' for love o' thee.


Samuel Barber (1910-1981)
