The Silver Stars Are in the Sky

The silver stars are in the sky
The red gold moon is riding high
Oh, sleep, my little one, sleep

Once long ago, against her breast
A mother hushed her babe to rest
Who was the King of Heaven above
The Lord of gentleness and love
Oh, sleep, my little one sleep (ooh)

The boobook calls across the night
The brown moths flutter in the light
Oh, sleep, my little one, sleep

In Bethlehem, long, long ago
Where roads and paddocks gleam with snow
On this same night that mother mild, lulled into dreams her royal child
Oh, sleep, my little one, sleep

Oh, sleep, my little one, sleep my little baby
Sleep, my little one, sleep
