Gartan Mothers Lullaby Lyrics & Chords By Meryl Streep

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
