¶Lyrics / Text

:O hush thee, my baby, thy sire was a knight, :Thy mother a lady both tender and bright, both tender and bright; :The woods and the glens from the tow'rs which we see, :They are all belonging, dear babie to thee, :They are all belonging, dear babie to thee. :O hush thee my babie. :O fear not the bugle, though loudly it blows; :It calls but the warders that guard thy repose, that gard thy repose. :Their bows would be blended, their blades would be red, :Ere the step of a foeman draws near to thy bed, :ere the step of a foeman draws near to thy bed. :O hush thee my babie. :O hush thee my babie, the time soon will come, :When thy sleep shall be broken by trumpet and drum, by trumpet and drum. :Then hush thee my darling, take rest while you may, :For strife comes with manhood, and waking with day, :For strife comes with manhood, and waking with day. :O hush thee, O hush thee, O hush thee, O hush thee my babie!
