Music by Loreena McKennitt
Lyrics by Padraic Colum, arr. by Loreena McKennitt
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
Silent rocking and rocking
The moon-cradle out in the sky
The snipe, they are crying, crying
Liadine, liadine, liadine
Where no track's on the bog, they are flying
A lonely dream will be mine
Where no track's on the bog, they are flying
A lonely dream will be mine
The lyrics MOON CRADLE of LOREENA MCKENNITT is also present in the album Parallel dreams (1989)
