Thread Name: ADD: Island of my Desire
Subject: RE: ADD: Land of Heart's Desire
This song seems similar to me
LAND O' HEART'S DESIRE Marjorie Kennedy-Fraser
Land o' Heart's Desire, Isle of Youth, Dear Western Isle, Gleaming in sunlight! Land o' Heart's Desire Isle of Youth!
Far the cloudless sky Stretchs blue Across the Isle, Green in sunlight, Far the cloudless sky Stretches blue.
There shall thou and I Wander free, On sheen-white sands, Dreaming in starlight, Land o' Heart's Desire Isle of Youth.
I knew the title of this song, and did a search for the lyrics, which I quickly found at http://www.alansim.com/scohtml/sco154.html That page says that this song is set to a traditional melody from North Uist.
