A Celtic Lullaby

Now is the ending of the long, bright, day-
Deep in the shadows the fairies are at play.
Rest your weary head here in my arms-
I will keep you safe from harm.

Lullalu- lullalay  - Lullalu-lullalay
Sleep now beloved at the ending of the day.

Far in the darkness hear the Night-bird as she sings-
Scattering the stars with the fluttering of her wings.
Sleep beloved, close your drowsy eyes-
While I and the Night-bird sweetly harmonize.

Lullalu-lullalay - Lullalu-lullalay
Sleep now beloved, at the ending of the day.

High in the night sky the moon is shining bright-
Covering the sleeping world with her silver light.
Sleep beloved, dream of pleasant things-
Of the joy and the promise that each new sunrise brings.

Lullalu-lullalay - Lullalu-lullalay-
Sleep now beloved, at the ending of the day.
