Seal Lullaby

Oh hush thee, my baby

The night is behind us

And black are the waters that sparkled so green

The moon o'er the combers looks downward to find us

At rest in the hollows that rustle between

Where billow meets billow

Then soft be thy pillow

Ah weary wee flipperling

Is curled at thy ease

The storm shall not wake thee

Nor shark overtake thee

Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging sea

Where billow meets billow

Then soft by thy pillow

Ah weary wee flippering

Is curled at thy knees

The storm shall not wake thee

Nor shark overtake thee

Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seas
