Gartan Mother's Lullaby	[print]
(Trad)

Sleep, O babe, for the red bee hums The silent twilight fall Eaval from the Grey Rock comes To wrap the world in thrall A leanbhan o, my child, my joy My love and heart's desire The crickets sing you a 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 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
