IRISH LULLABY.
Id rock my own sweet childie to rest in a cradle of gold on a bough of the willow,
To the shosheen ho; of the wind of the west and the shularoo of the soft sea billow.
Sleep, baby dear,
Sleep without fear,
Mother is here beside your pillow.
To the shosheen ho; of the wind of the west and the shularoo of the soft sea billow.
Sleep, baby dear,
Sleep without fear,
Mother is here beside your pillow.
I'd put my own sweet childie to sleep in a silver boat on the beautiful river,
Where a shosheen whisper the white cascades, and a shularoo the green flags shiver.
Sleep, baby dear,
Sleep without fear,
Mother is here with you for ever.
Where a shosheen whisper the white cascades, and a shularoo the green flags shiver.

Sleep without fear,
Mother is here with you for ever.
Shularoo! to the rise and fall of mother's bosom 'tis sleep has bound you,
And O, my child, what cozier nest for rosier rest could love have found you?
Sleep, baby dear,
Sleep without fear,
Mother's two arms are clasped around you.
And O, my child, what cozier nest for rosier rest could love have found you?
Sleep, baby dear,
Sleep without fear,
Mother's two arms are clasped around you.
