IRISH SONGS AND LYRICS 241
Hush O, Hush O, Hush O, my love, O close thine eyes and sleep my dove, The winds are crooning in the cove, Mo mhuirnin ceann ban beag.
My cheann ban beag, thy sleeping face,
Is beauty's quiet dwelling place,
Where dawn rests in the snow's embrace,
Mo mhuirnin ceann ban beag.
Hush O, Hush O, Hush O, my love, O close thine eyes and sleep my dove, The winds are crooning in the cove, Mo mhuirnin ceann ban beag.
Mo cheann ban beag, 'tis bliss to be
The mother of a babe like thee,
Thank God who gave the gift to me,
Mo mhuirnin cean ban beag.
Hush O, Hush O, Hush O, my love, O close thine eyes and sleep my dove, The winds are crooning in the cove, Mo mhuirnin ceann ban beag.
HUSH SONG
Written to an old Irish air found in C. Villiers Stanford's collection.
R EST asthoreen, down the boreen Come the cows a mooing low, Eve is falling, birds are calling, So their mates to sleep may go.
