Fyre, Fyre My Heart
Thomas Morley (1557-1602)
Fyre, fyre!
My heart! My heart!
Fa la la la la la
O, help! O, help! Alas, o, help!
Ay me! Ay me!
I sit and cry me,
and call for help,
alas, but none comes nigh me.
Fa la la la la la.
— anon. English, possibly by Thomas Morley
"Fyre, Fyre My Heart" was performed by the Houston Chamber Choir during the 2011-2012 season Northeast Tour to New York and Connecticut.
