Gartan Mother's Lullaby lyrics

Sleep, oh babe, for the red bee hums

The silent twilight fall

Ee val from the grey rock comes

To wrap the world in thrall

A lyan van oh, my child, my joy

My love and heart's desire

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 dawn

Upon a starry bog

A lyan van o, the paley moon

Has ringed her cusp in dew

And weeps to hear the sad sleep tune

I sing, my love, to you

A lyan van oh, my child, my joy

My love and heart's desire

The crickets sing you lullaby

Beside the dying fire
