English poem
SLEEPY SONG.
by Donald Alexander Mackenzie (1873–1936)
Sleep a little O Diarmid, Diarmid, Sleep in the deep lone cave; Sleep a little—a little little, Love whom my love I gave— Wearily falls O Diarmid, Diarmid, Wearily falls the wave.
Sleep a little, O Diarmid, Diarmid, Sleep, and have never a fear; Sleep a little—a little little, Love whom I love so dear— A weary wind, O Diarmid, Diarmid, A weary wind I hear.
Sleep a little, O Diarmid, Diarmid, Sleep, while I watch till you wake; Sleep a little—a little little, Love whom I'll ne'er forsake— Sleep a little, and blessings on you My lamb, or my heart will break.
