Sleep in the deep lone cave;
Sleep a little--a little little,
Love whom my love I gave--
Wearily falls O Diarmid, Diarmid,
Wearily falls the wave.

Sleep a little, O Diarmid, Diarmid,
Sleep, and have never a fear;
Sleep a little--a little little,
Love whom I love so dear--
A weary wind, O Diarmid, Diarmid,
A weary wind I hear.

Sleep a little, O Diarmid, Diarmid,
Sleep, while I watch till you wake;
Sleep a little--a little little,
Love whom I'll ne'er forsake--
Sleep a little, and blessings on you
My lamb, or my heart will break.




SONG OF THE SEA.


The sea sings loud, the sea sings low,
And sweet is the chime of its ebb and flow
Over the shingly strand;
For its strange, sweet song that woos my ear
