| Lullaby | |||||||||
| Sleep brother, sleep Lay your troubled head upon my breast Listen to my breathing Let it calm you Feel my arms about you Holding you tight I will protect you No one will torment you tonight Hear my heart-pulse It beats for love of you You are safe in my arms Sleep brother, sleep Let slumber surround you in her sweet embrace She will carry you away on the wings of the night Rest - sleep without dreams Hear the wind-sigh It moans sorrowfully around us Trying the latches with its restless fingers You are safe with me The Ever-Watching One gaurds us tonight He does not sleep His eyes do not fail Encircling us, His arms are bands of protection No one may break My arms, like His, encircle you Breathe softly Sleep, brother Peacefully, my brother Sleep my son, my brother Sleep |
