Morag’s Cradle Song – Eight handbells

Morag’s Cradle Song, is a gentle lullaby from Scotland. Here’s our “Surprisingly Easy”™ eight-bell arrangement.

Would she were here, my little one
Would she were here, my joy my treasure
Would she were here, my little one

Blue her eye, as skies in summer
Sweet her smile as flower at blooming

Soft her cheek, as eider down is
Warm and soft her arms entwining

Gaze, I see her in the gloaming
Gaze, I spy her sad and weary.

“Surprisingly Easy”™ Version:
”Dual-Range”™ Score Package: $5.00 US
G5-based practice track: $2.00 US
F5-based practice track: $2.00 US
