Poem
LULLABY She sits alone in darkened room Listening as the wind shakes the thatch, Peat fire reek hangs in the air As candle glow reflects in her eyes, In her arms wrapped in a shawl, Her bairn sleeps innocent with a smile. She sings to him sweet and low . .................................. Mmmmmmmmmmm ochone,ochone my little one, Sleep deep, sleep sound my darling son, Beneath the stars, dream for me, Your daddy is lost on some foreign land So little fingers grasp my hand, You have his hair, golden brown With waves and curls hanging down Features fair and handsome too Smiles in his sleep just like you. I loved him so much as i love you He would have been proud baby boy, To watch you grow and reach for the sky. He left to defend his country fair It was hard to leave, left his heart sair, To fight in foreign fields and woods And there he lies, alone in the cold. When you grow remember him, Ill tell you all that you should know Youll plough the ground and seed you,ll sow And hear his laughter amid the winter snow. So sleep sound my pretty young son Don’t let the dark invade your dreams Rest now and grow strong and tall Remember your daddie come the fall. Andrew McIntyre.
