[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 thrall

[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
