GRANDMOTHER MOON by Eleanor Daley
Text by Mary Louise Martin
Lyrics:
She looks into and beyond my soul,
The lacy cedar boughs creating her shadows,
Cedar ones weave design of midnight canvas.
She looks into and beyond my soul,
She a powerful sacred hoop of full light,
Simplicity against the ebony blues and blacks of night sky land and crystal star people.
She looks into and beyond my soul,
Her round face of translucent beauty and light,
Quiet powers speak out in her name... We’lalin.
(We’lalin means “thank you” in Mi’kmaq.)

Lyrics:
To light, to water, and the flow of birds through ancient stars.
To the wild sun of winter startling the dark green trees:
giants of majestic silence.
To snow on roofs and the peace of Sunday.
To quiet and certitude, to breathing, to air.
To acceptance, to dreams.
To disclosures of the sleeping heart, for air, for light.

Barnet legges i vuggen ned
Stundom græder og stundom ler
Sove nu, sove nu, i
Jesu navn
Jesu bevare barnet
Mor hun tok meg på sitt fang danse med meg att og fram
Danse så med de små
Danse så, så skal barnet danse
❧
The child is laid in the cradle
Sometimes crying, sometimes smiling
Sleep now, sleep now, in the name of
Jesus
Jesus guard this child
Mother lifts me to her lap
Dances me to and fro
Dance then, with the little ones
Dance then, so the children will dance
