Stranger, if thou seekest ease,
Safety, quiet and sweet peace,
If of rest thou wouldst be sure,
Lovest sober joys and pure,
Here thou shalt be strong and keen,
Come, then, come to Mannin Veen,
To the hills and valleys green,
Come, then, come,
Come, oh! come,
Come, oh! come to Mannin Veen.

If in conduct meek thou art,
And for greatness hast no heart,
If the devil's cruel ways
Thou withstandest all thy days;
If thou good and wise hast been,
Come, then, come to Mannin Veen,
To the hills and valleys green,
Come, then, come,
Come, oh! come,
Come, oh! come to Mannin Veen.

Trav'ler seek no foreign strand,
Thou wilt find no lovelier land;
Take the word of one who knows
How our life here smoothly flows,
Stranger leave not this fair scene,
Make thy home in Mannin Veen,
With its hills and valleys green,
Come, then, come,
Come, oh! come,
Come, oh! come to Mannin Veen.
