Aisling, little Aisling, please dear don’t you cry, Aisling, little Aisling, rest and hear this lullaby Mother makes the home, while father wins the bread All to keep safe dear the hairs upon your little head Aisling, little Aisling, see the goshawk glide on high Aisling, little Aisling, hear the old crow’s rasping cry Dance a little dance, upon the shores of the stream And watch the egret rise upon a fair rainbow’s beam Aisling, little Aisling, listen to all the birdies sing, Aisling, little Aisling, sparrows sing-sing on the wing, Cardinal and chickadee, mockingbird and jay Mossy stones are soft underfoot for you to prance and play Aisling, little Aisling, walk with me through the woods Aisling, little Aisling, mind the burrs sticking in your hood Beneath boughs of oak and ash, tulip and sycamore Buttercups and ladyferns drape the forest floor Aisling, little Aisling, let us journey to the sea, Aisling, little Aisling, skip with me to the end of the creek, Along a narrow foxpath, now coyotes doth trot By hidden springs run the deer that father hath sought Aisling, little Aisling, now please close your jade-green eyes, Aisling, little Aisling, fall asleep and dream while we watch the moonrise, Father walks the road, along the old riverbank And for this blessed day with you, our loving God we doth thank
Well at least you're okay with Irish people
