Key of A

Lullaby and good night,
With sigils bedight,
With pentegrams bedecked,
Is Baby's wee bed.

Chorus:
Lay thee down now and rest,
By the Goddess be blessed.
Lay thee down now and rest,
By the Goddess be blessed.

Lullaby and good night,
She has banished all fright,
She has banished all woe,
To your slumbers now go.

Lullaby and good night,
Guardian spirits take flight,
They hover overhead,
They suround your sweet bed.

Lullaby... and... good... night...

[I wrote this for my son Arthur when he was born and sang him to 
sleep with it on many nights.]
