W:Sleep, oh babe, for the red bee hums the silent twilight's fall
W:Ee val from the grey rock comes to wrap the world in thrall
W:A lyan van oh, my child, my joy, my love and heart's desire
W:The crickets sing you lullaby beside the dying fire
W:
W:Dusk is drawn and the Green Man's thorn is wreathed in rings of  fog
W:Sheevra sails his boat till morn, upon the starry bog
W:A lyn van o, the paley moon hath brimmed her cusp in dew
W:And weeps to hear the sad sleep tune I sing, o love, to you
