English text
- Sleep from the isles of summer sun attend you.
- Sleep of the grey and crooning wind defend you:
- White seagulls round your bed,
- Crying above your head,
- Till all your fears are fled,
- What are they saying?
- Run like the wave,
- Flow like the air.
- Sleep in peace.
- Sleep in peace.
- Peace from the heart of Mary Virgin find you.
- Peace from the touch of mantled Brigit bind you:
- Peace of the quiet earth
- Guarded the Christchild's birth
- You on the restless firth
- Soon will be sleeping.
- Run like the wave,
- Flow like the air.
- Sleep in peace.
- Sleep in peace.
