| lyric | 1. In the green arbutus shadow
On the lovely banks of Laune,
I would rock my laughing laddo
In his cradle up and down,
Up and down, and to and fro.
Singing lulla, lulla lo!
2. Soft clouds’ fleeces floating o’er us,
Curtain up the staring sun!
Pretty birds, in loving chorus
Pipe around my precious one!
Pipe your softest shohean sho
Tira lira lulla, lulla 10!
3. See the sky to brightest blossom
Flow’rs within the farthest west,
And the babe upon my bosom
Flushes with the rose of rest,-
Whilst with magic light aglow
Laune gives back my lulla, lulla lo! |
