Setanta’s Creed

hush now baby
go to sleep now
soon your older
cry no more

console mother
weeping for the
baby that she
carries gently

oh such beauty
full and lovely
oh so precious
lively essence

for a babe grows
big and strong
and brings the family
lasting joy

but for now babe
go to sleep
wake up older
but just as sweet

all the angels
carry with them
heaven’s blessings
on their wings

and now we see the baby
now we see the baby
cradled in the mother’s arms
resting now in peace and calm
now we see the baby
sleeping peacefully
