The Gartan Mother's Lullaby (Traditional) Performer(s): The Dubliners and multiple other artists
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
