An Old Gaelic Lullaby

Above, Mother cradles here baby while she sleeps, window, moon, curtain, cradle

Lullaby

Hush! the waves are rolling in,

White with foam, white with foam;

Father toils amid their din;

But baby sleeps at home.

Hush! the winds roar hoarse and deep;

On they come, on they come!

Brother seeks the wandering sheep;

But baby sleeps at home.

Hush! the rain sweeps o'er the knowes,

where they roam, where they roam;

Sister goes to seek the cows;

But baby sleeps at home.
