Orla Fallon - Gartan Mothers Lullaby by Orla Fallon lyrics

Sleep, O babe, for the red bee hums The silent twilight's fall Aoibheall from the grey rock comes To wrap the world in thrall O, leanbhan, 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 Siabhra sails his boat 'till morn Upon the starry bog O, leanbhan, O the pally moon Hath brimmed her cusp in dew And weeps to hear the sad sleep tune I sing, my love, to you Sleep, O babe, for the red bee hums The silent twilight's fall Aoibheall from the grey rock comes To wrap the world in thrall O, leanbhan, O my child, my joy My love and heart's desire The crickets sing you lullaby Beside the dying fire --- .
