Lullabye for Lucy
George Mackay Brown, Peter Maxwell Davies
Let all the plants and creatures of the valley now
Unite,
Calling a new
Young one to join the celebration.
Rowan and lamb and waters salt and sweet,
Entreat the
New child to the brimming
Dance of the valley,
A pledge and a promise.
Lonely they were long, the creatures of Rackwick, till
Lucy came among them, all brightness and light.
