[Intro]
A A A A
[Verse 1]
A
Sleep, my child, for the red bee hums
D A
The silent twilight falls
E A
Eivell from the gray rock comes
D E
To wrap the world in thrall
[Chorus]
A D A
Lying there, oh, my child, my joy
D
My love and heart's desire
A
The crickets sing you a lullaby
D A
Beside the dying fire
[Instrumental]
A A
[Verse 2]
A
Dusk has come and the green man's thorn
D A
Is wreathed in rings of fog
E A
Shivrah sails his boat till morn
D E
Along the starry bog
A D A
And over it all the paley moon
D
Has gleamed her cusp in dew
A
And weeps to hear the sad sleep tune
D A
I sing, oh love, to you
[Instrumental]
A A A A D D A A E E A A A A D E
[Chorus]
A D A
And lying there, oh, my child, my joy
D
My love and heart's desire
A
The crickets sing you a lullaby
D A
Beside the dying fire
