Fiona Blackburn - Gartan Mother's Lullaby lyrics

rate me

Sleep, O babe, for the red bee hums the silent twilight's

fall;Eeval from the grey rock comes to wrap the world

in thrall.A lyan van o, 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 'til morn upon the starry

bog.A lyan van o, the paly moon hath brimm'd her cusp

in dewAnd weeps to hear the sad,

sleep tune I sing, o love, to you.Sleep, O babe, ...
