Merlin in the Cradle
It has been thirteen months and three weeks
That I have slept in the wood.
Go to sleep, my little one, my little one;
Go to sleep, child, sleep.
I have heard the song of a bird
That sang so softly, so well.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
That sang so well, so softly
More softly than the flowing water.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
So much so, without caution,
I followed it with a charmed spirit.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
I followed it very far, very far;
Alas! Alas, that I was young!
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
Oh king's daughter, it said to me,
You are beautiful as the morning rose:
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
The rise of day is delighted when it sees you;
Do you not know this?
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
The sun itself is delighted;
And who skall be your bethrothed?
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
- Be quiet, be quiet, nasty little bird;
Your little beak is too free.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
As long as the King of the sky looks upon me;
What matters the glance of the aurora?
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
What matters the glance of the sun,
or even of the whole universe?
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
If you speak to me of marriage,
tell me of the King of the sky.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
However, it sang more and more sweetly,
And me, I follwed it, head lowered.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
I feel asleep of fatique under an oak
In an open place.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
And there I had a dream
Which troubled me beyond all else.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
I dreamt that I was in the house of a little Duz,
In the area of a small spring's waters.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
Its stones were so clear! Its stones were so shining!
Its stones were as sparkling as crystal!
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
On the ground, a carpet of moss,
Of newly-sown flowers above.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
As the little Duz was not at home,
I was fearless and joyful.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
When I saw coming far away,
Flapping its wings, a turtledove.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
And it hit its beak
on the clear wall of the grotto
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
And simple me, through pity for it,
Went to open the door for it.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
And it entered, and flew
In a circle around the house.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
Then my shoulder, then my brow,
Then it grazed my chest
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
Three times it pecked at my ear,
And then returned happily to the greenwood.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
If it was happy, I was not;
Cursed by the hour I went to sleep.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
The tears flowed from my eyes
To have a cradle to rock.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
Were they not in the chasm of ice,
Black spirits, all, flesh and bone!
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
Were my dream not false!
Were I not unknown to the world!
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
- The child, newborn as it was,
began to laugh, repeating:
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
- Hush, my mother, do not cry,
I will cause you no pain.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
- But it is for me a great heartache
To hear my father called a Black spirit.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
- My father, between heaven and earth,
Is as brilliant as the moon.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
- My father loves poor people, and,
When he can, he helps them.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
- May God preserve forever
My father from the icy abyss!
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
- But blessed be, on the contrary,
The hour when I was born to do good.
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
- When I was born to do good for my country;
May God keep it from suffering!
Go to sleep, my little one... [Etc]
The mother was shocked:
Here is a prodigy, if ever there was one!
Go to sleep, my little one, my little one,
Go to sleep, child, sleep!
