Lyrics:
The mirk is gath'ring in the glen,
The shadows creep up to the brow o' the Ben,
The sky, but now sae red, sae red,
Grows dim before the night's dull tread.
The birdies a' ha'e gane to rest,
Each little warbler in his nest
Has hid his head beneath his wing,
And closed his eye and ceased to sing.
Now comes the bonnie Lady Moon,
And on my ain bairnie she gently looks doun,
And smiles sae kind as if, said she,
“We'll watch the baby, you and me.”
Then shut these twa blue e'en, my dear,
The moon and mither baith are here,
We'll guard you weel, we'll guard you lang,
And hushabye will be our sang.
-Text by K. R. Moffat.
