1. Lullay: I saw

Lullay lullow lully lullay bewy bewy lully bewy lully lullow lullay lullow baw baw my barnë, sleep softly now.

I saw a sweetë, seemly sight, a blissful burd, a blossom bright, that mourning made and mirth of mang.

A maiden mother, meek and mild, in cradle keep a knavë child, that softly sleep; she sat and sang.
