Sleep, oh babe, for the red bee hums
F C
The silent twilight's fall
G C Em
Aoibheall from the grey rock comes
Am Em F
To wrap the world in thrall

A leanbhín ó, my child, my joy
Am Em F
My love and heart's desire
Dm C7 Am F
The crickets sing you lullaby

Beside the dying fire

Dusk is drawn and the Green Man's thorn
F C
Is wreathed in rings of fog
G C Em
Siabhra sails his boat 'til morn
Am Em F
Upon the starry bog

A leanbhín ó, the paly moon
Am Em F
Hath brimmed her cusp in dew
Dm C7 Am F
And weeps to hear the sad sleep-tune
C F C F
I sing, my love, to you
