(©Shirley Starke 1990)

Seoitin seo, seoitin seo,
Warm be thy blanket of snow,
Warmth and peace from all things below,
Seoitin seo, seoitin seo.

Seoitin seo, seoitin seo,
Fire and ice, the fight and the foe,
All are past, and peacefully so,
Seoitin seo, seoitin seo.

Seoitin seo, seoitin seo,
Death is past, and life is restored,
And thy heart shall never die more.
Seoitin seo, seoitin seo.

Seoitin seo, seoitin seo,
Eagle's wings shall bear thee, I know,
Bear thee far from ice and the snow,
Seoitin seo, seoitin seo.

Seoitin seo, seoitin seo,
Healed shalt be of wounds and of woe.
Healing give to us here below,
Seoitin seo, seoitin seo.

Seoitin seo, seoitin seo,
Bright as sunshine, whiter than snow,
Save us all from death and the foe,
Seoitin seo, seoitin seo.
