Composer's note



This is a setting of a beautiful lullaby by the Scots poet William Soutar, who was dedicated to strengthening the use of the Scots language.  He wrote a lot of poems for children and is a joy to set to music.  The lullaby should be sung simply and liltingly throughout.


A recording by Rudsambee company of singers is available on their album bottled at source  (RUBEECD003).

Day is düne



Lully, lully, my ain wee dearie:

Lully, lully, my ain wee doo:

Sae far awa and peerieweerie

Is the hurlie o' the world noo.


And a' the noddin pows are weary;

And a' the fitterin feet come in:

Lully, lully, my ain wee dearie,

The darg is owre and the day is düne.


William Soutar (1898-1943)
