Thread Name: Origins: The Highland Fairy Lullaby
Subject: RE: Folklore: The Highland Fairy Lullaby
PS: I have just looked up my copy of The Celtic Lyre, 1883, and the verses printed by Jim Lad are exactly those translated by L MACBEAN. The additional verse mentioned by MMario is:
I found the track of the yellow faw, The yellow fawn, the yellow faw: I found the track of the Yellow fawn, But could not trace by baby, O!
The first verse says 'darling' rather than 'baby'.
