I'm sorry, but Neil Ginsberg did not compose "The Gartan Mother's Lullaby." The melody is a traditional Irish tune, and the lyrics were written by Seosamh Mac Cathmhaoil (Joseph Campbell) in the Irish language. The English translation of the lyrics was done by Mary Byrne. The song is also known as "Gartan Mother's Lullaby" or "Sleep, O Babe." The exact date of the composition of the melody is unknown, but it is believed to be a traditional tune from the Donegal region of Ireland. The lyrics were written in the late 19th century, and the English translation was done in the early 20th century. The song has a simple, gentle melody that is well-suited to a lullaby. It is typically performed in a slow, lilting tempo, with a gentle accompaniment on guitar or piano. The lyrics describe a mother singing to her child, asking the child to sleep peacefully and promising to protect and care for the child. The song has been recorded by many artists over the years, including Enya, Clannad, and Moya Brennan.
