O weary fa' the east wind
And weary fa' the west:
And gin I were under the wan waves wide
I wot weel wad I rest

O weary fa' the north wind
And weary fa' the south:
The sea went ower my good lord's head
Or ever he kissed my mouth

Weary fa' the windward rocks
And weary fa' the lee:
They might hae sunken seven score ships
And let my love's gang free

And weary fa' ye, mariners a'
And weary fa' thе sea:
It might hae taken an hundrеd men
And let my ae love be

William Walton - Biography

Sir William Walton (1902-1983) was one of Britain’s best-known composers of the 20th century. He befriended Sacheverell Sitwell while studying at Oxford, a relationship that would lead to his first high-profile success, providing the music for Edith Sitwell’s performance piece Façade in 1922. His Viola Concerto seven years later was a success in a more traditional vein. His compositions include his cantata Belshazzar’s Feast, his First Symphony, his opera Troilus and Cressida, and his music for the 1944 film Henry V. He was knighted by the British crown in 1951.
