Dusk is drawn and the Green Man’s thorn is wreathed in rings of fog, Siabra sails his boat till morn, upon the starry bog. A leanbhan O, the pale moon hath brimmed her cusp in dew, And weeps to hear the sad sleep-tune, I sing O love of you. - The Gartan Mothers Lullaby
A lovely Irish melody from Co. Donegal; the lullaby of a mother to her child. The song refers to a number of figures in Irish mythology, places in Ireland and words in the Irish language.
The best known recording of the song was made by Meryl Streep in 2000.
