Gartan Mothers Lullaby
A D A
Sleep, oh babe, for the red bee hums the silent twilight's fall

Ee val from the grey rock comes to wrap the world in thrall

A lyan van oh, my child, my joy, my own and heart's desire
A D A
The crickets sing you lullaby beside the dying fire
Dusk is drawn and the Green Man's thorn is wreathed in rings of fog
Sheevra sails his boat till morn, across the starry bog
A lyn van o, the paley moon has brimmed her cusp in dew
And weeps to hear the sad sleep tune I sing, o love, to you

The cricket sings you lullaby, beside the dying fire.
Dusk is drawn and the Green Man's thorn is wreathed in rings of fog
Siabhra sails his boat till morn, upon the Starry Bog
A leanbhan O, the paly moon hath brimmed her cusp in dew
And weeps to hear the sad sleep-tune, I sing O love to you.
Faintly sweet doth the chapel bell, ring o'er the valley dim
Tearmann's peasant voices swell, in fragrant evening hymn
A leanbhan O, the low bell rings, my little lamb to rest
And angel-dreams till morning sings, its music in your breast.
