Song of Silence
| Ríoghnach nEachach |

Quiet quiet, hush and listen
Can you hear the heart blood glisten? Silence, silence—can you hear The wet gleam of the falling tear? Come now, come now close, my child Longer, just a little while Stay, stay; you may yet hear Paces of Death drawing near Child, child, will you kiss me? From the seas will lips release me Story, story, tell the tale Of the broken ship at sail Winds, winds upon the seas Tattered sails disperse your ease Cracking, cracking go the masts As the ship sinks down at last As the ship sinks down at last |
