| | | O WILD and stormy Lammermoor! | |
| Would I could feel once more | |
| The cold north-wind, the wintry blast, | |
| That sweeps thy mountains o’er. | |
| Would I could see thy drifted snow | 5 |
| Deep, deep in cleuch and glen, | |
| And hear the scream of the wild birds, | |
| And was free on thy hills again! | |
| |
| I hate this dreary southern land, | |
| I weary day by day | 10 |
| For the music of thy many streams | |
| In the birchwoods far away! | |
| From all I love they banish me, | |
| But my thoughts they cannot chain; | |
| And they bear me back, wild Lammermoor! | 15 |
| To thy distant hills again! | | | | |
