- (continued from previous page)Gently falling on thy bed. IV
Soft and easy is thy cradle.
Coarse, hard, and rough,
Was our Savour's birthplace stable
And His softest bed was hay. V
Sleep my darling little dear.
Sleep on your mother's brest.
Sleep and rest sleep and rest.
On your cozy little nest. Told by Mrs. Cahill Shanbally, Craughwell, Co. Galway

Mr Walsh asked him who was the Blessed Virgin Mary's mother and Raftery answered St. Ann. Then Raftery asked Mr. Walsh who was St. Ann's mother and Mr. Walsh was puzzled. Raftery knew that Mr Walsh was'ent good at catechsim.Told by Mrs Garvey, Roveagh, Kilcolgin
