    and bright
    Hushaby baby the day it will come
    When you sleep will be broken
    By trumpet and drum
    The above song was sung by an old Irish nurse, over the children of the chieftains. When the chieftains were out at battle and their brothers sought to kill the young heir, the nurses sung this lullaby.
