Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Gartan Mother's Lullaby
| A | D | A |
| Sleep O babe, for the red bee hums the | silent twilight's | fall |
| D |
| Aoibheall from the grey rock comes, to wrap the world in | thrall |
| A | D |
| A | leanbhan O, my child, my joy, my love my heart's de | sire |
| a | D | a |
| And weeps to hear the | sad sleep tuneI | sing 'O love for | you. |
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
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.
Faintly sweet doth the chapel bell, ring o'er the valley dim
Tearmann's peasant voices swell, in fragrant evening hymn
A leanbhan O, the low bell rings, my little lamb to rest
And angel-dreams till morning sings, its music in your breast.
