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.
