Song of Silence


Ríoghnach Locha Eachach            


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
