December 16, 2012 Fourteenth Day of Advent The Silver Stars in the Sky (New Zealand Christmas Carol) The silver stars are in the sky, The red-gold moon goes riding high, O, sleep my little one sleep! Once long ago, against her breast, A mother rocked her child to rest, Who was the Prince of Heavn above, The Lord of happiness and love. O, sleep, my little one sleep! The boobook (owl) calls across the night, The brown moths flutter in the light, O, sleep, my little one sleep! In Bethlehem long, long ago, When roads and paddocks gleamd with snow; On this same night, that mother mild, Lulld into dreams her royal child. So, sleep, my little one, sleep! Words Translated by John Wheeler In this carol a mother lullabys her child and recalls Mary doing the same to the baby Jesus. https://youtube/watch?v=AMOGxyDPuGg
