Colum,

When
the
moon-cradle's
rocking
and
rocking
Where
a
cloud
and
a
cloud
go
by
Silently
rocking
and
rocking
The
moon-cradle's
out
in
the
sky.
Then
comes
the
lad
with
the
hazel
And
the
folding
star's
in
the
rack
'Night's
a
good
herd'
to
the
cattle,
He
sings,
'She
brings
all
things
back.'
But
the
bond
woman
down
by
the
boorie
Sings
with
a
heart
grown
wild
How
a
hundred
rivers
are
flowing
Between
herself
and
her
child.
'The
geese,
even
they
trudge
homeward
That
have
their
wings
and
the
waste,
Let
your
thoughts
be
on
Night
the
Herder,
And
be
quiet
for
a
space.'
The
moon-cradle's
rocking
and
rocking,
Where
a
cloud
and
a
cloud
go
by,
Silently
rocking
and
rocking
The
moon-cradle
out
in
the
sky.
The
snipe
they
are
crying
and
crying
