Subject: Lyr/Tune Add: LULLABY OF AN INFANT CHIEF (W Scott) From: MMario Date: 02 Jul 02 - 02:28 PM LULLABY OF AN INFANT CHIEF (Sir Walter Scott/Clayton Jones) from 'BLENDING VOICES - The World of Music' - 1936 Oh, hush thee, my baby, thy sire was a knight, Thy mother a lady both lovely and bright. The woods and the glens, from the tow'rs which we see, They all are belonging, dear baby, to thee. Oh, fear not the bugle, though loudly it blows! It calls but the warders that guard thy repose. their bows would be bend-ed, their blades would be red, Ere the step of a foeman draws near to thy bed. Oh, hush thee, my baby, the time soon will come When thy sleep shall be broken by trumpet and drum. Then hush thee, my darling, take rest while you may, For strife comes with man-hood and waking with day.

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Lullaby of an Infant Chief From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 02 Jul 02 - 03:58 PM The song also appears in Hugh S. Roberton's Songs of the Isles (1950) as Highland Cradle Song (Hush Thee, My Babie), set to a "Traditional Highland Tune". The text is set with a traditional refrain in Gaelic, and only the first couplet and the last two of those given above are used. The full Scott text appears as Hush thee, my Baby in Alfred Moffat's Minstrelsy of the Scottish Highlands, also with the Gaelic refrain and set to the same tune. It is accompanied by a full Gaelic text, Caidil gu Lò, three verses of which are described as "Old"; a further three were added by Malcolm MacFarlane. It seems to have the same general tenor as the Scott text, but the latter is not a translation of it. |
