[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 thralls


[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]~

[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
