An Irish Lullaby
Hush now, close your eyes
against the looming night
and the tempting moonlight.
Hush now, close your eyes.
Against the looming night
when the Fae Folk roam,
between morn and gloam.
Against the looming night
When the Fae Folk roam,
hear the banshee who wails.
I will sing you some tales,
when the Fae Folk roam.
Hear the banshee who wails.
Hush now, close your eyes,
dream of clear blue skies.
Hear the banshee who wails.
Hush now, close your eyes
against the looming night
and the tempting moonlight.
Hush now, close your eyes.

Thank you, Richard.
This is absolutely beautiful… I won’t taint it with another word.
Thank you, how sweet.
I agree with Nina. Wonderful catena rotondo!.
Thanks, Irina. I wrote that originally for one of Susan’s prompts.
That was perfection. Truly… I loved the form and I could just hear my grandmother singing…
Thanks. The Catena Rondo form has become one of my favourites to write.
Beautiful and haunting!
Thank you.
