Standard (EADGBE)

Sleep my child, for the red bee hums the silent twilight's fall

Aoibheall from the grey rock comes, to wrap the world in thrall

A leanbhan O, my child, my joy, my love my heart's desire

The cricket sings your a lullaby, beside the dying fire.

Dusk is drawn and the Green Man's thorn is wreathed in rings of fog

Siabhra sails his boat till morn, upon the Starry Bog

A leanbhan O, the paly moon hath brimmed her cusp in dew

And weeps to hear the sad sleep-tune, I sing O love to you.

Faintly sweet doth the chapel bell, ring o'er the valley dim

Tearmann's peasant voices swell, in fragrant evening hymn

A leanbhan O, the low bell rings, my little lamb to rest

And angel-dreams till morning sings, its music in your breast.
