Meryl Streep - Gartan Mother's Lullaby lyrics

Sleep, my child, for the red bee hums The silent twilight falls Eivell from the gray rock comes To wrap the world in thralls And lyin' there, oh, my child, my joy My love and heart's desire The crickets sing you a lullaby Beside the dyin' fire Dusk has come and the green man's thorn Is wreathed in rings of fog Shivrah sails his boat till morn Along the starry bog And over it all the paley moon Has gleamed her cusp in dew And weeps to hear the sad sleep tune I sing, oh love, to you And lyin' there, oh, my child, my joy My love and heart's desire The crickets sing you a lullaby Beside the dyin' fire
