G'day again Wendy,

Here are the words:

THE SILVER STARS ARE IN THE SKY

Words John Wheeler                 Music William G James

The silver stars are in the sky,
The red-gold moon goes riding high,
O, sleep my little one sleep!
Once long ago, against her breast,
A mother rocked her child to rest,
Who was the Prince of Heav'n above,
The Lord of happiness and love.
        O, sleep, my little one sleep!

The boobook calls across the night,
The brown moths flutter in the light,
O, sleep, my little one sleep!
In Bethlehem long, long ago,
When roads and paddocks gleam'd with snow;
On this same night, that mother mild,
Lull'd into dreams her royal child.
        So, sleep, my little one, sleep!
                      Sleep ...

You say you remember the melody ... so perhaps the words are sufficient. If you need the 'dots', I can post an ABC version to this thread, which can be reconstituted to 'dots' on various sites, such as concertina.com.

I would need an email address to send you de facto 'sheet music'.

I can't help you with a distributor of the Wheeler & James books in Britain.

Regards,

Bob
