Lyr Req: Peat-Fire Flame

From: hilda fish

When I was a child I learnt a song that delighted me. However I now remember only the chorus which strangely enough has been okay. But now I would really like to fish out the lyrics if anyone can help me. The chorus goes:
"By the light of the peat fire flame,
Light for love, for lilt (?) for laughter.
By the light of the peat fire flame,
The light the hill folk yearn for."

Thanks very much indeed. Have just had a sing of the whole thing - with proper tune! :)

There's an error in those lyrics - it should be "Morar", not "Morah"!

Morar is a loch (lake).

Another thread about it, with the Jean Redpath lyrics.
