Like the sun quenched its first dawning,
The moon lost to the sea.
Like the dew lost unto the morning,
So you my love were lost to me
I can hear now the pipers calling
On that far distant shore,
And my tears now like leaves are falling,
And I will see your face no more
You are sleeping, you are sleeping.
Oh no sleep or peace can comfort me.
I am weeping, oh I am weeping
‘Til I will sleep in sleep with thee.
You are sleeping, you are sleeping.
Oh no sleep or peace can comfort me.
I am weeping, oh I am weeping
‘Til I will sleep in sleep with thee.
You are sleeping, you are sleeping.
Oh no sleep or peace can comfort me.
I am weeping, oh I am weeping
‘Til I will sleep in sleep with thee.
You are sleeping, you are sleeping.
Oh no sleep or peace can comfort me.
I am weeping, oh I am weeping
‘Til I will sleep in sleep with thee.
